Control Assembly Description

The heater and A/C control assembly allows the vehicle operator to communicate with the Instrument Panel Integration Module (IPM). The IPM is an integrated component of the heater and A/C control assembly. The IPM is the component which monitors the HVAC system status and can adjust to meet the requirement set by the operator of the vehicle. The heater and A/C control includes buttons to select operating modes, a fan speed increase/decrease switch, the rear defog control button, and a vacuum fluorescent display panel. When the parklamps or headlamps are turned on, the buttons are illuminated. The temperature for the driver and passenger is controlled individually by two separate knobs.
