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:
a Vehicle speed is above 25 mph (40 km/h) for at least
0 Vehicle speed is above 45 mph (72 km/h) for
This delay helps prevent a false reading. If vehicle speed
remains above
25 mph (40 km/h) 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 when you start the vehicle.
Inside temperature: This sensor is in the center air
outlet
on the passenger side.
If you block or cover either interior sensor, the system
will give a false reading.

System Problems
If the light above an air control button flashes when you
turn on the ignition, your system may have an electrical
problem. The flashing will continue for one minute, then
stop.

flash, even if refrigerant is added, until the system is
reset. Have your system checked and serviced if needed.

1. Turn your ignition key to OFF or LOCK.
2. Remove the courtesy lamps and radio fuses from the
main fuse panel and wait one minute. See “Fuses and
Circuit Breakers” in the Index.
3. Put the fuses back in and start your vehicle.

working properly. If you still have a problem, see your
dealer.

Specially Treated Windshield (ZR-1)
Your ZR- 1 windshield is treated to reduce the amount of
solar heat entering your vehicle. It makes it easier for
your air conditioning system to keep you comfortable.
The windshield treatment reduces the effectiveness of
some carry-on electrical equipment. Therefore, there’s
an opening in the windshield treatment at the bottom
center of the windshield
so that carry-on electrical
equipment may be used.
