Models equipped with ECC*
Sensors
The sunlight sensor is on the upper side of
the dashboard
The passenger compartment temperature
sensor is located behind the climate sys-
tem control panel.
The ambient temperature sensor is in the
driver's side door mirror.
The humidity sensor is in the rearview mir-
ror.
These sensors should never be obstructed.
NOTE
The sunlight sensor monitors the side of the
vehicle from which the sun shines into the
passenger compartment. This means that
the temperature may differ slightly between
the left and right air vents, even if the climate
system temperature is set to be the same
for both sides of the passenger compart-
ment.
Side windows and optional moonroof
The electronic climate control system will func-
tion best if the windows and moonroof are
closed. If you drive with the windows or moon-
roof open, it may be preferable to manually
adjust the temperature and blower control (the
LED in the AUTO switch should be off).
Acceleration
The air conditioning system is temporarily
switched off during full throttle acceleration.
