Description And Operation: Description
The Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) steering wheel EVIC control switch sends the commands to the Body Control Module (BCM) via the Local Interface Network (LIN) line. The BCM translates the controls requested by the driver and sends them via Control Area Network (CAN) to the Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) module, to access menus and submenus.
Other display activation requests can come from other systems, to warn the driver when the corresponding system activates; for instance:
- Park Assist function
- Seat Belt Reminder
- Assisted parking
NOTE:

The EVIC control switch cannot be adjusted or repaired. If any function of the switch is ineffective or damaged, the entire switch unit must be replaced.
