located in the overhead console to measure the temperature

mode. This maintains a comfortable temperature, even
under changing conditions. It is important that objects
are not blocking the infrared sensor. It is also important
that objects are not used that may scratch or

behind the rearview mirror. Do not block airflow to the
sensor. Use care not to spray the sensor with window
cleaner.
