The Rear Integrated Control Panel (RICP) is installed in the rear of the floor console. The control panel contains rotary and push switches for controlling the temperature, volume and distribution of air to the rear seats. Each push switch contains an amber status LED. Display screens are integrated into the center of the rotary switches to display the selected temperature and blower speed as applicable.
Additional push switches on the RICP are provided for control of seat heating/climate control seats. For additional information, refer to: SEATS .
The RICP has a permanent battery power feed from the Passenger Junction Box (PJB) and is connected to the High Speed (HS) Controller Area Network (CAN) comfort bus. The RICP converts selections on the climate control switches into HS CAN comfort messages and transmits them to the Automatic Temperature Control Module (ATCM). The ATCM sends the climate status back to the RICP to be displayed.
When an auxiliary climate system is fitted the RICP is used to control the functions of the auxiliary climate system. For additional information, refer to: AUXILIARY CLIMATE CONTROL .
