Solar Angle

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.
