Outside temperature
Outside temperature |
The outside temperature is obtained from the SID whose temperature sensor is fitted under the front bumper. The value of the outside temperature is used by the ACC control module to correct the value of the cabin temperature and to control the speed of the fan. The cabin temperature is corrected so that it corresponds to the physical perception of the selected temperature. This means that the measured cabin temperature is higher than the selected at low outside temperatures. This is true even at high outdoor temperatures, but the difference is less. The condition is dependent on whether heat is passing out of the cabin or into it. At outside temperatures below + 5 ° C and over + 20 ° C the fan speed increases to achieve a more consistent cabin temperature. When the parking heater is connected the SID is woken by the ACC control module, which then starts to send the outside temperature to it.
