Notice:
Do not try to clear frost
or other material from the inside
of the front windshield and rear

Sensors
The solar sensor, located on top of

The climate control system uses the
sensor information to adjust the
temperature, fan speed,
recirculation, and air delivery mode
for best comfort.
If the sensor is covered, the
automatic climate control system
may not work properly.
