The needles in the instrument cluster are illu­
minated when the ignition is switched on. The
gauges are also illuminated when the lights
are turned on . The instrument illum inat ion
dims automatically as the amount of light

Outside temperature display
The instrument cluster display shows the outside
temperature . At temperatures below 41 °F
(+ S °C), a snowflake symbol appears in front of
the temperature display .
If your vehicle is stationary or if you are driving at
very low speeds, the temperature displayed may
be slightly higher than the actual temperature
outside due to the heat radiating from the en­
gine.
A WARNING
-Do not assume the roads are free of ice based
on the outside temperature display. Be aware
that there may be ice on roads even when the
outside temperature is around 41 °F (+5 °()
and that ice can increase the risk of accidents.
@ Tips
You can change the measurement un its, for
example for temperature or speed, in the
MMI.
