As ice formation is related
to exposure, local air hu -
midity and temperature, the external
temperature alone is not sufficient to
indicate the presence of ice.
If the power supply is cut (battery
disconnected, supply wire cut, etc.),
the clock must be reset.
We recommend that you do not
adjust these settings while driving.
