CLIMATE CONTROL
* Option/accessory.
208
Perceived temperature
The climate control system regulates the cli- mate in the passenger compartment basedon perceived temperature, not actual tem-perature.
The selected passenger compartment tem- perature is based on the physical perception ofthe current ambient temperature, airflowspeed, humidity, sunlight in the passengercompartment, etc. The system has a sunlight sensor that detects which side of the vehicle the sunlight is shin-ing on and adjusts the temperature accord-ingly. This means that the temperature of theair coming out of the vents may be differentfor the left and right sides, even if the tem-perature setting is the same for both sides.

Interior Air Quality System *
Interior Air Quality System (IAQS) is a fully automatic air quality system that removesgases and particles to reduce odors and con-taminants in the passenger compartment.
IAQS is part of the Clean Zone Interior Package (CZIP) and removes air contaminantssuch as particles, hydrocarbons, nitric oxidesand ground-level ozone. If the system's air quality sensors detect con- taminants in the outside air, the air intakecloses and air recirculation is activated.
NOTE
To ensure optimal air quality in the passen- ger compartment, the air quality sensorshould always be engaged. Recirculation is limited in cold weather to prevent fogging. In the event of fogging, use the defroster functions for the windshield, side windowsand rear window.
