There is also an interior
temperature sensor
located next to the steering
wheel that measures the
temperature of the air
inside the vehicle.
There is also an exterior temperature sensor located
behind the front grille. This sensor reads the outside
air temperature and helps maintain the temperature
inside the vehicle. Any cover on the front of the vehicle
could cause a false reading in the displayed temperature.
In order to prevent false temperature readings at
startup, the displayed temperature will not change
until the following occurs:
• Vehicle speed is above 10 mph (16 km/h) for
5 minutes.
• Vehicle speed is above 32 mph (51 km/h) for
2 and a half minutes.
The climate control system uses the information from
these sensors to maintain your comfort setting by
adjusting the outlet temperature, fan speed, and the air
delivery mode. The system may also supply cooler air to
the side of the vehicle facing the sun. The recirculation
mode will also be used as needed to maintain cool outlet
temperatures.
