inside your vehicle, they use the information to maintain
the selected temperature by adjusting to the
temperature, the fan speed, and the air delivery system.
The system may also supply cooler air to the side of
the vehicle facing the sun. The recirculation mode
will also be activated, as necessary. Do not cover the
sensors or the automatic climate control system will not
