Solar angle

This screen graphically displays the sun's position as determined by GPS. The climate control uses the sun's angle, along with the sunlight sensor to control the driver/passenger A/C air flow. The heat that the A/C unit removes varies, depending on the angle of the sun entering the vehicle.

This screen is for factory use only, and allows simulation of this feature for development purposes.

• The "manual tuning" button should always be "OFF"
• The "Angle" is the angle that the sun (shown with the red "dot") is above the horizon.
• The "vehicle" value represents the angle, clockwise from North, to the direction that the vehicle position (VP) icon is pointing (always points straight up).
• The "direction" value is the angle, measured clockwise from the VP (straight up) to the suns position.
• The reliability ranges from 1 to 3, and represents the accuracy of the Vehicle Position relative to the sun.
