If the vehicle is stationary, or if you are driving
at a very low speed, the temperature shown in
the display might be slightly higher than the
actual outside temperature . Th is is caused by
the heat being radiated from the engine .
The unit of measurement for the temperature
can be set in either °For in °Con the MMI* or
on the radio control un it . The outside temper
ature display automatical ly shows the unit of
measurement that has been set. For addition
a l information, see the MMI* or the radio in
struction manua l.
A 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 39 °F (+4 °C).
- Always remember, eve n if the "snow
flake" symbol ( ice warn ing) does not ap
pear i n the display, black ice could be on
the road .
-Always reduce your speed and dr ive with
special care in cold weather conditions
when the chance of encounte ring icy
road surfaces increases .
