Climate Control System Network Communication
The controls for the climate control system are in one or more locations depending on vehicle option content:
- HVAC control module (DATC)
- FDIM (part of the APIM, if equipped with Sony ® Sound)
On vehicles with Sony ® Sound the touch screen and voice commands can be used for climate control inputs.
On vehicles without Sony ® Sound the customer inputs are directly inputted in to the HVAC control module (DATC).
