Description and operation Description The photo sensor is located at the center of the defrost nozzles. The photo sensor contains a photovoltaic (sensitive to sunlight) diode. The solar radiation received by its light receiving portion, generates an electromotive force in proportion to the amount of radiation received wh
Description The smart cruise control system allows a driver to program the vehicle to control the speed and following distance by detecting the vehicle ahead without depressing the brake pedal or the accelerator pedal. 1.
