The climate system has a number of sensors to help regulate the climate settings in thevehicle.
Location of the sensors
Sunlight sensors - on the upper side of the dashboard.
Humidity sensor - in the rearview mirror console.
Ambient temperature sensor - in the right- side door mirror.
Passenger compartment temperature sen- sor - near the buttons in the center con-sole.
NOTE

On vehicles equipped with the Interior Air Quality System *, there is also an air quality
sensor in the climate system's air intake.

Perceived temperature
The climate control system regulates the cli- mate in the passenger compartment basedon perceived temperature, not actual tem-perature.
The selected passenger compartment tem- perature is based on the physical perception ofthe current ambient temperature, airflowspeed, humidity, sunlight in the passengercompartment, etc. The system has a sunlight sensor that detects which side of the vehicle the sunlight is shin-ing on and adjusts the temperature accord-ingly. This means that the temperature of theair coming out of the vents may be differentfor the left and right sides, even if the tem-perature setting is the same for both sides.
