There is also an interiortemperature sensorlocated next to the steeringwheel that measures thetemperature of the airinside the vehicle.
There is also an exterior temperature sensor locatedbehind the front grille. This sensor reads the outside airtemperature and helps maintain the temperatureinside the vehicle. Any cover on the front of the vehiclecould cause a false reading in the displayedtemperature.
In order to prevent false temperature readings atstartup, the displayed temperature will not change untilthe following occurs:
•Vehicle speed is above 16 km/h (10 mph) for
5 minutes.
•Vehicle speed is above 51 km/h (32 mph) for 2 and
a half minutes.
The climate control system uses the information fromthese sensors to maintain your comfort setting byadjusting the outlet temperature, fan speed, and the airdelivery mode. The system may also supply coolerair to the side of the vehicle facing the sun. Therecirculation mode will also be used as needed tomaintain cool outlet temperatures.
Outlet Adjustment
