•  The solar radiation sensor converts the detected solar radiation amount to an electric signal.

•  A photodiode (light receiving diode) has been adopted for the solar radiation sensor.

•  The solar radiation sensor is located on the front passenger side of the instrument cluster.

•  When light strikes the semi-conductor part of the photodiode (light receiving diode), the solar radiation sensor uses the electrical current flow characteristic to detect the amount of solar radiation. The generated electrical current increases if the sunlight intensity increases, and decreases if the sunlight intensity decreases.
