Humidity/In-Car temperature Sensor

The humidity sensor consists of two sensors. One sensor is for humidity detection, and the other is for in-car temperature detection. When the climate control unit receives signals about the in-car condition from the humidity sensor, and judges that the humidity in the vehicle is very low, the climate control unit reduces the compressor run-time. Engine power loss is kept to a minimum, and fuel economy is increased.
