Description And Operation (Control Components): Overview

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2018 Jaguar XF, 2017 Jaguar XF, and 2016 Jaguar XF. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The control components operate the heating and ventilation system and the Air Conditioning (A/C) system to regulate the temperature, volume and distribution of air into the passenger compartment. The climate control system is configured as a dual zone system. The dual zone system supplies individual temperature levels, to the driver and passenger zones, up to a maximum differential of approximately 3 °C (5.4 °F).

The climate control system is controlled by the Automatic Temperature Control Module (ATCM) in response to inputs from the Integrated Control Panel (ICP), the Touch Screen (TS) and the following sensors:

Ambient Air Temperature (AAT) sensor
Evaporator temperature sensor
Humidity sensor
In-vehicle temperature sensor
Pollution sensor
Refrigerant pressure sensor
Sunload sensor
Duct air temperature sensors.

Operation can be fully automatic, or manual selections can be made for the intake air source, blower speed and air distribution. These selections can be made on the Touch Screen (TS) and the Integrated Control Panel (ICP).
