(D Note
Never run the tank completely dry! An ir
regular supply of fuel can cause engine

Outside temperature display
Fig. 11 Display : outside te mperature
At temperatures below 41 °F (+S °C), a snow
flake symbol appears in front of the tempera ture display . It is intended to remind the driv
er to pay spec ial attent ion to
ic e on the roa d.
If your vehicle is stat ionary or if you are driv
ing at very low speeds, the temperature dis
played may be slightly higher than the actual
temperature outside due to the heat radiating
from the eng ine .
The unit of measurement for the temperature
can be set in either °For in °Con the MM I* or
on the radio control un it . The outside temper
ature display automatically shows the unit of
measurement that has been set. For addition
a l information, see the MMI* or the radio in
struction manua l.
_& WARNING
- Never use the outside temperature d is
play to determine if a road surface is icy
or not. Keep in mind that road surfaces,
especially bridges and overpasses, could
be ice covered and slippery even at an
outside temperature above 41 °F (+S
0 ().
-Always remember, even if the "snow
flake" symbol ( ice warn ing) does not ap
pear i n the display, blac k ice could be on
the road.
- Always reduce you r speed and drive with
special care in cold weather conditions
when the chance of encountering icy
road s urfaces increases .

(D Tips
-If the vehicle is stationary, or if you are
dr iving at a very low speed, the tempera
t u re shown in the d isp lay m ight be
slightly h igher than the actual outside
temperat ure. Th is is caused by the heat
being radiated from the engine .
