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.
