Description And Operation: Description
A Manual Temperature Control (MTC) and an Automatic Temperature Control (ATC) Dual Zone and Tri-Zone Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) systems are available for this vehicle. The Dual Zone and Tri-Zone HVAC systems allow both the driver, front seat passenger and intermediate seat passenger (Tri-Zone system only) the ability to individually regulate air temperature for their area of the vehicle. All controls are identified by International Standards Organization (ISO) graphic symbols.
The ATC HVAC system can automatically adjust the air temperature, airflow volume, airflow distribution and amount of inside air recirculation to maintain occupant comfort, even under changing outside weather conditions. It offers several manual override features, such as fan speed, airflow distribution, defrost and recirculation modes.
Both HVAC systems provide the vehicle occupants with a number of options to help control climate and comfort within the vehicle (Refer to the Owner's Manual for more information on the features of the HVAC system).
Automatic Temperature Control (ATC) shown in illustration above. Manual Temperature Control (MTC) similar.
The controls for both the Dual Zone and Tri-Zone HVAC systems are located in the Uconnect® touchscreen module and on the Integrated Center Stack (ICS) Module (1) at the top of the center console.
Prior to replacing an ICS module, check for any Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) related to the affected system, and run any related calibration procedures to verify that the concern is not a calibration issue. Refer to DIAGNOSTIC CODE INDEX .
The individual A/C heater controls located in the ICS module cannot be adjusted or repaired. If an individual A/C heater control or control indicator lamp is inoperative or damaged, the entire ICS module must be replaced. Refer to MODULE, INTEGRATED CENTER STACK (ICSM), REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION .
