Solar Sensor







The solar sensor can detect the amount of solar radiation that is influencing the temperature and climate in the vehicles interior. The IHKA control module monitors the input from the solar sensor and adds the value to its processing factors. The settings of the climate control system are changed to compensate for this additional influence.

The settings of the following IHKA components are adjusted to compensate for changes in solar radiation:

- Blower - The blower curve is changed
- Stratification (mixing flaps) - The stratification outlet air temperature is changed (not E46)
- Ventilation - The opening angles of the ventilation flaps are changed.
