Sensors
The climate control uses three
sensors to maintain temperatures:
.
The sunlight sensor is located
on top of the dashboard. See
Instrument Panel Overview on
page 5‑2.
It monitors solar radiation when
operating in AUTO mode,
adjusting temperature, fan speed
and air delivery.
Cooler air may be supplied to
thesideofthevehiclefacing
the sun.
Recirculation mode will be
activated as necessary.
Do not cover the senso r.
.
The outside temperature sensor
islocatedinfrontoftheradiator
and relies on air moving
across it.
It can be affected by radiant heat
when the vehicle is stationary.
To prevent false temperature
readings, the displayed
temperature will not change until
the vehicle speed is above
16 km/h for 5 minutes or vehicle
speed is above 40 km/h for 2½
minutes.
If the vehicle has been switched
off for less than 3 hours, the
temperature at start up will be
recalled from previous operation.
.
The in-car temperature sensor is
located in the dashboard. See
Instrument Panel Overview on
page 5‑2. It measures the
temperature inside the vehicle.
