Volvo XC90: Climate control / Climate control sensors. Perceived temperature
The climate system has a number of sensors to help regulate the climate settings in the vehicle. Do not cover or block the sensors with clothing or other objects.
Location of the sensors
Sunlight sensors - on the upper
side of the dashboard.
Humidity sensor - in the rearview
mirror console.
Passenger compartment temperature
sensor - near the buttons in the center console.
Airborne particulate matter sensor*
– on the underside of the glove compartment.
Ambient temperature sensor - in
the rightside door mirror.
On vehicles equipped with the Interior Air Quality System*, there is also an air quality sensor in the climate system's air intake.
Perceived temperature
The climate control system regulates the climate in the passenger compartment based on perceived temperature, not actual temperature.
The selected passenger compartment temperature 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.
* Option/accessory.
Climate zones
The vehicle is divided into climate zones to make it possible to set different
temperatures for different parts of the passenger compartment.
