Odometer displays 
The odometer indicates the total distance driven by the vehicle. 
The trip odometer (trip) shows the distance driven since the last time the trip odometer was reset. The last digit indicates 1/10 mile (100 meters). 
Outside temperature display 
At outside temperatures below about +39 °F (+4 °C), a “snowflake symbol” (icy road warning) appears in the display. The symbol flashes at first, then stays on until the outside temperature rises above 
+43 °F (+6 °C) ⇒ . 
When the vehicle is not moving or when you are driving at very low speeds, the temperature displayed may be slightly higher than the actual outside temperature. 
The measurement range is from -40 °F (-40 °C) to +122 °F (+50 °C). 
Compass display 
When the ignition and navigation system are switched on, the current compass direction is indicated in 
the instrument cluster display ⇒  Compass.

audio sources should be reduced while a beeping signal 
sounds. The current audio source is set to the reduced vol-
ume while you change the settings.
