7-4 Climate Controls Choosing the coldest or warmest temperature setting will not cause the system to heat or cool any faster. 3. Let the system stabilize for a few minutes. 4. Adjust the air outlets or temperature. In cold weather, the system starts in the recirculation mode with the fan off. As the engine warms up, warm air is directed to the floor outlets, before automatically changing to bi-level mode with a reduced fan speed. Do not cover the solar sensor located in the center of the instrument panel, near the windshield. For more information on the solar sensor, see "Sensors" later in this section.
