_& WARNING
--Never rely exclusively on the outside tem­

face is icy or not. Keep in mind that road
surfaces, especially bridges and overpasses,
could be ice covered and slippery even at an
outside temperat ure above 41 °F (+S °C).
- Always remember, even if the "snowflake"
symbol (ice warning) does not appear in the
d isp lay, black ice could be on the road.
- Always reduce your speed and drive with specia l care in co ld weather conditions when
the chance of encountering icy road surfaces
increases .
(0 Tips
- If the vehicle is stationary, or if you are driv­
ing at a very low speed, the temperature
shown in the display might be slightly high­
er than the actual outside temperature . This
is caused by the heat being radiated from
the engine . .,..
