Functionality air conditioner
The temperature and humidity sensor integrated into the vehicle interior consists of a thermistor and a dedicated sensor element. This sensor element specifically measures air temperature and humidity to ensure an accurate microclimate inside the vehicle.
The recorded readings are transmitted digitally to the air conditioning control unit. The sensor records the current temperature and compares it with the target temperature. If there are differences, the climate control unit intervenes and regulates the climate functions to achieve the desired temperature.
