OUTSIDE TEMP (Base Audio System):If you select
this item, the current outside temperature is displayed
at the top of the screen. It will be in either degrees

example, if you are driving in traffic making frequent
stops, the display may read one number, but if you enter
the freeway, the number may change even though

This is because different driving conditions produce
different fuel economies. Generally, freeway driving
