CLIMATE CONTROL
* Option/accessory.203
Climate control sensors
The climate system has a number of sensors to help regulate the climate settings in the vehicle.
Location of the sensors
Humidity sensor - in the rearview mirror con- sole.
Ambient temperature sensor - in the right- side door mirror.
Sunlight sensors - on the upper side of the dashboard.
Passenger compartment temperature sensor - near the buttons in the center console.
NOTE
Do not cover or block the sensors with cloth- ing or other objects.
On vehicles equipped with the Interior Air Quality System *, there is also an air quality sensor in the
climate system's air intake.

Perceived temperature
The climate control system regulates the climate in the passenger compartment based on per-ceived temperature, not actual temperature.
The selected passenger compartment tempera- ture is based on the physical perception of thecurrent ambient temperature, airflow speed,humidity, sunlight in the passenger compartment,etc. The system has a sunlight sensor that detects which side of the vehicle the sunlight is shiningon and adjusts the temperature accordingly. Thismeans that the temperature of the air coming outof the vents may be different for the left and rightsides, even if the temperature setting is the samefor both sides.

Clean Zone Interior Package
*
Clean Zone Interior Package (CZIP) is a series of modifications that filters even more allergy andasthma-inducing substances from the passengercompartment.
CZIP includes the following:
• An enhanced function that starts the blower when the vehicle is unlocked using theremote key. The blower will then fill the pas-senger compartment with fresh air. The func-tion starts when required and switches offautomatically after a period of time or whenone of the passenger compartment doors isopened. The amount of time the blower runsgradually decreases due to reduced need upuntil the vehicle is 4 years old.
• The fully automatic Interior Air QualitySystem (IAQS).

Interior Air Quality System
*
Interior Air Quality System (IAQS) is a fully auto- matic air quality system that removes gases andparticles to reduce odors and contaminants inthe passenger compartment.
IAQS is part of the Clean Zone Interior Package (CZIP) and removes air contaminants such asparticles, hydrocarbons, nitric oxides and ground-level ozone. If the system's air quality sensors detect contami- nants in the outside air, the air intake closes andair recirculation is activated.
NOTE
To ensure optimal air quality in the passenger compartment, the air quality sensor shouldalways be engaged. Recirculation is limited in cold weather to pre- vent fogging. In the event of fogging, use the defroster functions for the windshield, side windowsand rear window.
