conditioning use is high and the
engine has turned off. This is
normal.
Sensors

The solar sensor is on top of the
instrument panel, near the
windshield, where it monitors solar
intensity.The climate control system uses the

recirculation, and air delivery mode
for best comfort.

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.
