mirrors heat to help clear fog or frost
from the surface of the mirror when
the rear window defog button is

Sensors
The automatic climate control
system uses sensors to maintain
temperatures. The solar sensor is
on the instrument panel near the
windshield, and the outside
temperature sensor is in front of the
radiator.
The solar sensor monitors the solar
radiation when operating in AUTO
mode, adjusting the temperature,
fan speed and air delivery. 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.
The outside temperature sensor can
be affected by radiant heat when
the vehicle is not moving.
To prevent false temperature
readings, the displayed temperature
will not update at low vehicle
speeds.
If the vehicle has been turned off for
less than four hours, the
temperature at start up will be
recalled from previous operation.
Do not cover the sensors; otherwise
the automatic climate control system
will not work properly.
Remote Start Climate Control
Operation
If equipped with the remote start
feature, when it is activated, the
climate control system will use the
previous settings. See
