material from the inside of the
front windshield and rear window
with a razor blade or anything
else that is sharp. This may

if it is cold outside.
Sensors
Indicator Light and Solar
Sensor (ILSS)
The ILSS is on top of the instrument
panel, near the windshield, where it
monitors solar intensity.
The climate control system uses the
sensor information to adjust the
temperature, fan speed,
recirculation, and air delivery mode
for best comfort.
Do not cover the sensor; otherwise
the automatic climate control system
may not work properly. Humidity Sensor
The humidity sensor is near the
base of the inside rearview mirror.
The climate control system uses the
sensor information to adjust the
temperature and recirculation for
best comfort.
Outside Air Temperature Sensor
The outside air temperature sensor
is behind the front grille of the
vehicle. The vehicle uses the sensor
information to display outside air
temperature. The climate control
system uses the information to
adjust the climate system operation.
