Touch Screen (TS)

The Touch Screen (TS) is used for direct selection of timed climate control or to program one or two 'on/off' cycle start-times per day, and one 'on/off' cycle start-time further in the future. The programmed start times are stored in the BCM/GWM assembly. The direct selection and programmed time modes of operation are selected when the engine is stopped and the smart key is in the vehicle. The key can then be removed and the vehicle locked. Any timed event will automatically run without the key inside the vehicle.

At a programmed start time or a direct selection on the TS, the BCM/GWM assembly sends a start signal to the ATCM via the High Speed (HS) Controller Area Network (CAN) comfort systems bus. The ATCM then initiates the appropriate mode of timed climate control operation.

To set a timed climate program:

1. Press the HOME MENU switch.
2. Touch the Timed climate soft key. This soft key may be set on a personal shortcut or accessed via the Extra Features soft key. Select 7 day timer, or single event, and then select the timer soft key. If 7 day timer selected, then select the day for which you want to set a program. Alternatively, select All week to select the same start time for every day.
3. Touch the Timer 1 or Timer 2 soft key. The timers can be toggled between on and off using the power soft key.
4. Touch the up or down arrows to set the start time. Hours and minutes are adjusted separately.
5. Touch OK. The screen will display the activation time. If required, set the time for the other timer using the same process.
6. Once set, the timer events can be turned on or off as required in the Timed climate screen by selecting the 7 day timer or the single event soft key.

Any programmed timed climate control cycle may be cancelled by touching the relevant power soft key on the timer set up menu or the 'Power' soft key on the 'Timed climate' information home menu.
