Outside temperature display
GWarning!
The outside temperature display is not
designed as an ice-warning device and is
therefore unsuitable for that purpose.
Indicated temperatures just above the
freezing point do not guarantee that the
road surface is free of ice. The road may
still be icy, especially in wooded areas or
on bridges. Your vehicle could start to skid
if you do not adjust your driving style
accordingly.
Therefore, always adjust your driving style
to the prevailing road and weather
conditions.
Example illustration (U.S. vehicles)
i Canada vehicles: The outside
temperature display shows °C instead
of °F.
The outside temperature display appears
in the multifunction display continuously.
A change of the outside temperature will be
displayed with delay.

Freeze warning (Canada vehicles only)
When the outside temperature falls below
3 ¥ , the multifunction display makes you
aware of the fact that the road may be icy.
An additional freeze warning, i.e. an ice
crystal symbol, in the multifunction
display flashes. After 60 seconds, the
freeze warning stops flashing but
continues to be displayed. When the
outside temperature rises above 3 ¥, the
freeze warning goes out.
Fuel level display
Example illustration (U.S. vehicles)
The fuel level display shows the tank’s fuel
level with the aid of eight segments. The
number of dark segments indicates the fuel
level in the tank. If all eight segments are
dark, the tank is full.

no more than 1.0 US gal (3.78 l) of fuel in the
tank.
If this occurs,
