Climate – sensors
The climate system utilizes a number of sensors to help regulate the temperature and humidity level in the passenger compartment.
Sensor location
- The sunlight sensor is located on the top side of the dashboard.
Note
The sunlight sensor monitors which side of the car that is most exposed to sunlight. This can mean that the temperature may differ between the right and left-side air vents, even if the temperatures set for both sides of the passenger compartment are the same.
- The temperature sensor for the passenger compartment is located below the climate control panel.
- The outside (ambient) temperature sensor is located on the door mirror.
- The humidity sensor* is located in the interior rearview mirror.
Note
Do not cover or block the sensors with clothing or other objects.
