„ Temperature sensors
1) Solar sensor
2) Interior air temperature sensor
The automatic climate control system em-
ploys several sensors. These sensors are
delicate. If they are treated incorrectly and
become damaged, the system may not be
able to control the interior temperature
correctly. To avoid damaging the sensors,
observe the following precautions:
– Do not subject the sensors to impact.
– Keep water away from the sensors.
– Do not cover the sensors.
The sensors are located as follows:
– Solar sensor: beside windshield de-
froster grille
– Interior air temperature sensor: on the
side of the driver-side part of the center
panel
– Outside temperature sensor: behind
front grille.
Continued operation in the “ ”
position may fog up the windows.
Switch to the “ ” position as
soon as the outside dusty condition
clears.
