Automatic lighting or A/C temperature control malfunctions; labels or foreign objects may obstruct the light sensor behind the windshield.
Geely STARRAY: Abnormal automatic lighting or A/C temperature control; check for sensor obstruction
Symptoms
- Automatic lighting or A/C temperature control malfunctions; labels or foreign objects may obstruct the light sensor behind the windshield. [1]
Possible causes
- The manual states that this sensor serves both A/C temperature control and automatic lighting, and requires keeping it clean without labels or foreign objects on it; obstruction does not mean that the sensor is damaged. [1]
Checks
- Check the ambient light and solar sensor surface for labels, contamination or foreign objects; clean it and remove obstructions first, then recheck automatic lighting and temperature control. [1]
What to do
- Recheck after cleaning and removing obstructions; persistent abnormalities require further diagnosis. This entry does not conclude that the compressor, lights or sensor have hardware damage. [1]
Applicability and limits
- Official Spanish-language owner manual for Chile; STARRAY; model year unspecified, with no actual vehicle model or main brand ID linked. Scope: unknown [1]
- Only applies to this manual for the combustion-engine STARRAY and the actual vehicle configuration; do not extend to STARRAY EM-i or automatically group it with Atlas
- The manual date and the year in the URL are not treated as applicable model years
