Functions in ICM (infotainment control panel)


ICM 1, 2 and 3 have a control panel for audio, telephone and navigation. ICM shares some logic functions with the radio main unit, but it is the overall control unit for navigation and communication. ICM 0 is in cars without an audio system and is a control module without keypad.

ICM is the control unit for the O-bus (Optic bus), which means that it controls all the units on the O-bus and is the gateway between the O-bus and the electric buses (P and I-buses).

ICM is the control unit for SID and SIDC.

ICM controls mainly the following functions:


Customer settings

Service interval

Instrument lighting

Indicator sound

Trip computer functions

Warning and indicator messages, language and units.


Service

SID will display a text message and a symbol when it is time for service:


Time for service. Contact service.


The service message on the display can be reset using the SID control panel (SIDC). Press the CUSTOMIZE button, select "System settings" and then "Service Info" from the menu. Finally, select "Reset Service Ind." from the "Service Info" menu. The service message will be reset after pressing the INFO knob.

From the "Service Info" menu, you can select:


Service data showing oil quality 0-100%.

Reset Service Ind.


Transport mode


The car is put in transport mode by removing fuse 37 from the underhood electrical centre (UEC) and then turning the ignition key to ON.

The message "Transport Fuse Removed" will be displayed on SID when transport mode has been activated.

Trip computer


The following trip computer functions are available:


SID1


TEMP (outside temperature via BCM)

FUEL Ø (average fuel consumption)

DTE (distance to empty).

DATE


SID2


TEMP (outside temperature via BCM)

FUEL Ø (average fuel consumption)

DTE (distance to empty).

DATE

DIST (distance remaining). This function can also be used as a tripmeter.

ARRIV (estimate time of arrival)

SPEED Ø (average speed)

SPEED W (speed warning)


After starting the engine, the function being used when the engine was last turned off will be displayed with the following exceptions:


TEMP will be shown if it is between -3°C and +3°C.

DTE will be shown if it is 50 km or less.


TEMP will always be shown when the outside temperature rises or falls to within the interval -3°C and +3°C.

Instrument lighting


ICM controls the instrument and button illumination with the help of:


Brightness control buttons (rheostat function) on SIDC.

Light sensor on rear of SID that measures the ambient light from the front.


ICM uses these values when calculating a suitable brightness for the instrument and button illumination. ICM transmits the bus message "Instrument illumination, rheostat value" with a value between 0-100% on the I-bus.

The brightness control comprises a +/- switch that provides ICM with information on the driver's choice of instrument illumination. SIDC transmits the current button press to ICM, which increases or decreases the rheostat value accordingly.

A PWM signal from SIDC on pin 4 to ICM pin 14 indicates the button (+/-) that has been pressed. This signal is a 5V 960Hz square wave with pulse ratio 40% for the up button (+) and 60% for the down button (-). See the SID control panel table.

The light sensor that measures brightness from the front is fitted to the back of SID together with the alarm LED. The light sensors have a measuring range between 0 and 40000 Lux.

Alarm indicator


On the SID unit is an LED indicating the state of the alarm. The LED is located on the back of SID next to the light sensor, which measures the ambient light from the front. BCM activates the alarm indicator LED via a wire.

Night Panel


Night Panel is used to minimise distracting light and provide an agreeable illumination in the cabin. When Night Panel is active, expendable information should be turned off and the brightness of the button illumination turned down.

The following will happen when the NIGHT PANEL button on SIDC is pressed:


The brightness of the button illumination will be reduced (from min 65% of max rheostat level).

The display lighting in SID and ICM will be extinguished.

All gauges on the main instrument unit except the speedometer (which is illuminated up to 140 km/h (90 mph)) will be extinguished. This function can also be adjusted to full scale lighting using the diagnostic tool.


The tachometer, turbo boost, fuel and temperature gauge needles will fall to their rest position once the illumination has been extinguished.

The following gauges/displays will individually return to normal display:


Turbo boost gauge in case of a vault. The engine control module will determine whether the gauge should be activated.

Right-hand speedometer graduation if the vehicle speed exceeds a pre-programmed limit.

Tachometer if the engine speed exceeds a pre-programmed limit.

Fuel gauge if the fuel quantity in the tank is less than 12 litres.

Temperature gauge if the engine temperature exceeds a pre-programmed limit (different limits for petrol and diesel engines).

The gear selector display will light up if the gear selector is not in D position.

Tripmeter and odometer displays if the CLEAR button is pressed for 20 seconds.


SID and ICM displays will light up if a CHECK function is activated. After confirmation from the driver, the display will be extinguished again unless the NIGHT PANEL button has been pressed.

SID and ICM displays light up if a button on SIDC has been pressed or if an audio function has been changed.

Night Panel is only active with the ignition key in ON position.

Acoustic indicator


When a message is displayed in SID (541) it is indicated with an acoustic signal in the dashboard speakers. If several messages are displayed then only the first message is indicated with an acoustic signal.

ICM (736) is a control unit for warning and indicator sounds, which means that it manages the prioritising and activates EHU (353).

ICM receives a bus message to generate an acoustic signal and in turn transmits a bus message on the O-bus requesting an acoustic signal in the loudspeakers. EHU (the radio main unit) receives the bus message and sends an acoustic signal to the front speakers.

An EHU (353) is also fitted in cars without audio system in order to generate warning and indicator sounds.
