Climate system sensors
The climate system's sensors help regulate the
passenger compartment temperature, humidity
level, etc.
Location of the sensors
Humidity sensor: in the rearview mirror con-
sole.
Ambient temperature sensor: in the pas-
senger's side door mirror.
Sunlight sensor: on the upper side of the
dashboard.
Passenger compartment temperature sen-
sor: near the center console buttons.
NOTE
Do not cover or block the sensors with cloth-
ing or other objects.
On models equipped with the optional Interior Air
Quality System, there is also an air quality sensor
located at the climate system's air intake.

Perceived temperature
The climate system regulates passenger com-
partment temperature based on the perceived
temperature, not on the actual one.
The selected passenger compartment tempera-
ture is based on a physical perception relating to
the current ambient temperature, air flow, humid-
ity, sunlight in the passenger compartment, etc.
The system's sunlight sensor monitors the side of
the car where sunlight is entering the passenger
compartment. This means that the actual tem-
perature may differ between the right and left
sides of the compartment, even if the tempera-
ture setting is the same for both sides.
