Sensors
The solar sensor on your vehicle monitors the solar
radiation and the air inside your vehicle, then uses the
information to maintain the selected temperature 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 solar sensor located in the
middle of the instrument panel, near the windshield,
or the system will not work properly.
There is also a sensor located behind the front grill.
This sensor reads the outside air temperature and helps
to maintain the temperature inside the vehicle.
Any cover on the front of the vehicle could cause a
false reading in the temperature.
Defogging and Defrosting
Fog on the inside of windows is a result of high humidity
(moisture) condensing on the cool window glass.
This can be minimized if the climate control system is
used properly. There are two modes to clear fog
from your windshield. Use the floor/defog mode to
clear the windows of fog or moisture and warm
the passengers. Use the defrost mode (FRONT) to
remove fog or frost from the windshield more quickly.
yMODE z: Press this button until the floor/defog
symbol appears on the display.
. (Floor/Defog): This mode directs the air equally
between the windshield and the floor outlets. When you
select this mode, the system turns off recirculation
and runs the air-conditioning compressor unless
the outside temperature is at or below freezing.
The recirculation mode cannot be selected while in
the floor/defog mode.
