Sensors
There are several sensors on the vehicle that measure
the temperature and the sun’s effect on passenger
comfort.
The solar sensor is located on top of the instrument panel
near the windshield. It monitors the solar heat then uses
the information to maintain the selected temperature
when operating in AUTO mode by initiating needed
adjustments to the temperature, the fan speed and the air
delivery system. The system may also supply cooler air to
the side of the vehicle facing the sun. The recirculation
mode will also be activated, as necessary. Do not cover
the sensor or the system will not work properly.
