IEarth magnetism and heading direction of vehicle.
IOutside air temperature.
ICaution for frozen road surfaces.
OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE DISPLAYNBEL0153S01Push the switch when the ignition key is in the ªACCº or ªONº position. The outside temperature will be dis-
played in ªÉFº.
ISelecting the indication range
Push the switch to change from ªÉFº to ªÉCº.
IWhen the outside temperature drops below freezing point, ICE is displayed on the unit.
IWhen the outside temperature is between 55ÉC (130ÉF) and 70ÉC (158ÉF), the display shows 55ÉC
(130ÉF).
IWhen the outside temperature is lower than þ30ÉC (þ20ÉF) or higher than 70ÉC (158ÉF), the display shows
only ª---º though it is operating. This is not a problem.
IThe indicated temperature on the thermometer is not readily affected by engine heat. It changes only when
one of the following conditions is present.
a) The temperature detected by the ambient air temperature sensor is lower than the indicated temperature
on the thermometer.
b) The difference in temperature detected during a period of 40 seconds is less than 1ÉC (1.8ÉF) when vehicle
speed has been greater than 24 km/h (15 MPH) for more than 100 seconds.
(This is to prevent the indicated temperature from being affected by engine heat or cooling fan operation
during low-speed driving.)
c) The ignition key has been turned to the ªOFFº position for more than 4 hours. (The engine is cold.)
DIRECTION DISPLAYNBEL0153S02Push the switch when the ignition key is in the ªACCº or ªONº position. The direction will be displayed.
