In 4-zone climate systems, the passenger com-
partment temperature can be set separately for
the left and right sides of the vehicle, and for the
front and rear seats.

Climate (p. 204) Climate control sensors
The climate system has a number of sensors to
help regulate the climate settings in the vehicle.
Location of the sensors Humidity sensor - in the rearview mirror con-
sole.
Ambient temperature sensor - in the right-
side door mirror.
Passenger compartment temperature sensor
- near the buttons in the center console.

CLIMATE CONTROL
}}
* Option/accessory. 205
On vehicles equipped with the Interior Air Quality
System*, there is also an air quality sensor in the
climate system's air intake.
Related information
Climate (p. 204)
Interior Air Quality System* (p. 208) Perceived temperature
The climate control system regulates the climate
in the passenger compartment based on per-
ceived temperature, not actual temperature.
The selected passenger compartment tempera-
ture is based on the physical perception of the
current ambient temperature, airflow speed,
humidity, sunlight in the passenger compartment,
etc.
The system has a sunlight sensor that detects
which side of the vehicle the sunlight is shining
on and adjusts the temperature accordingly. This
means that the temperature of the air coming out
of the vents may be different for the left and right
sides, even if the temperature setting is the same
for both sides.
