For the interior sensors to be able to perform as intended, it's important that you don't cover them.

1
Sunlight, rain and humidity sensor in the rear-view mirror console.

Passenger compartment temperature sensor, located behind the dashboard panel on the driver's side next to the glove
box.
3
Airborne particulate matter sensor, located under the speaker cover on the passenger's side.
The exterior ambient temperature sensor is located in the right wing mirror.
4.3.8.4. Heaters
If the ambient temperature is lower than the temperature you prefer in your car, the heating system can help
provide a comfortable interior climate.
Electric heater
The electric heater is powered by the car's traction battery. It is used to heat the battery and for heating the passenger compart-
ment during preconditioning.
If the charge level in the traction battery is too low, the heater will switch off.
Heat pump
The heat pump works primarily as a range extender. In low temperatures, the heat pump helps to heat up the passenger com-
partment while using less energy compared to the electric heater, which extends the battery's power availability. The heat pump
operates during both preconditioning and driving. It also helps to maintain the traction battery at its desired operating temper-
ature, which enhances performance.
4.4. Windows and glass panes
Your car has several different windows and glass panes. Some of them are laminated for added safety and
security. The lamination also provides better sound insulation in the passenger compartment.
