Temperature Sensors
Sunload:
This sensor is on top of the
instrument panel. When the inside
temperature is increased by sunlight,
the system will lower the inside
temperature up to
5°F (3°C) below
the setting on the display.
Outside Temperature: This sensor is
on the right side of the upper radiator
support in the grille opening. This is
what you usually see on the display.
If the outside temperature goes up,
the displayed temperature will not
change until:
Vehicle speed is above 25 mph
(40 kmh) for at least 3 minutes,
or
Vehicle speed is above 45 mph
(72
km/h) for 1 1/2 minutes.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine This delay helps prevent a false reading.
If vehicle speed remains above
25 mph
(40 kmh) or the temperature goes down,
the display is updated immediately.
If your vehicle has been
off for more than
three hours, the current outside
temperature will be stored
in the system
