Some functions and vehicle components are
scanned for their operat ing status when you
switch the ignition on and while you are driving.
Malfunctions or requ ired service procedures are
s ignaled audibly and indicated by red and yellow
illuminated symbols and reminders in the dis
play.
A WARNING
-
- Never rely exclus ively on the outside tem
perature display to determine if a road sur
face is icy or not. Keep in m ind that road
surfaces, especially br idges and overpasses,
co uld be ice covered and slippe ry even at an
outs ide temperature above 41 °F (+ S °C).
- Always remember, even if the "snowflake"
symbol (ice warning) does not appear in the
display, black ice co uld be on the road.
- Always reduce you r speed and drive with
special care in cold weather condit ions when
the chance of encountering icy road surfaces
increases.
(D Tips
If the vehicle is stationary, or if you are driv
i ng at a very low speed, t he temperature
shown in the disp lay m ight be slightly higher
than the actual outside temperature. This is
caused by the heat being radiated from the
engine.
