Climate control - sensors
The climate control system has a number of
sensors to help control the climate in the car.
Do not cover or block the sensors with cloth-
ing or other objects.
Sensor location
Sun sensor - on the upper side of the
instrument panel.
Moisture sensor - in the casing by the
interior rearview mirror.
Temperature sensor for the passenger
compartment - by the physical buttons in
the centre console.
Airborne particulate matter sensor* – on
the underside of the glovebox.
Outside temperature sensor - in the right-
hand door mirror.
With the Interior Air Quality System* there is
also an air quality sensor that is fitted into the
climate control system air intake.

Perceived temperature
The climate control system regulates the cli-
mate in the passenger compartment based
on the perceived temperature, not on actual
temperature.
The temperature you select in the passenger
compartment corresponds to the physically
perceived temperature as affected by factors
such as the ambient temperature, air speed,
humidity, solar radiation, etc. in and around
the car at the time.
The system includes a sun sensor which
detects on which side the sun is shining into
the passenger compartment. This means that
the temperature can differ between the right
and left-hand side's air vents despite the con-
trols being set for the same temperature on
both sides.
