turned on, use the climate controls if
additional adjustments are desired.
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.
Air Vents
Adjustable air vents are in the center and on
the side of the instrument panel.
Move the slats to change the direction of
the airflow. The center air vent does not
close completely.
Move the slats to change the direction of
the airflow.
Additional air vents are located beneath the
windshield and the driver and passenger
side door windows, and in the footwells.

Operation Tips
.Keep all outlets open whenever possible
for best system performance.
.Clear snow off the hood to improve
visibility and help decrease moisture
drawn into the vehicle.
.Keep the path under all seats clear of
objects to help circulate the air inside the
vehicle more effectively.
