It's a light sensor, used by the A/C system to determine sunlight intensity and location; and also is used as a sensor for the automatic headlights, I believe.

Found it: The solar sensor is located in the middle of the dashboard. This sensor is only active in automatic mode. The solar sensor takes external sources of light or heat (e.g. direct sunlight) into account, which could affect the air conditioning of the vehicle interior.
The sensor consists of 2 photoresistors. The sensor transmits an analogue signal to the IHKA control unit for each side, driver and front-passenger, depending on the intensity of the sunlight at each side.
According to Research/Recall Rudy.

Had a moment when my brain took some time off. Anyway...english isn't really my 1st language you know? But i should have understood since we have almost a similar word in romanian. Protuberanta.

LOL... 'Protuberance' is not a common word nor it's the right term in this case, it is a medical term and unless you'll be diagnosed for one by your doctor you most likely won't hear it again.

Well im not a linguist, But I think that OXFORD annotation will lean toward how common this word is in the UK English VS. USA...
Type 'Protuberance' on google and see for yourself - mass majority of the links are medical related...
Is there a doctor here ?
