Outside temperature display
The instrument clus ter display shows the outside
temperature. At temperatures below 41 °F
( + 5 °C), a snowflake symbol appears in front of
the temperature display.
If your vehicle is stationary or if you are driv ing at
very low speeds, the temperature d isplayed may
be slight ly 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 acc idents.
@ Tips
The units of measurement can be set in the
MMI.
