(+39°F), even when the “ice c
rystal symbol”
is not visible, there may still be patches of ice
on the road.
● Do not rely on the outside temperature in-
dicator! Note
● Differ ent
versions of the instrument panel
are available and therefore the versions and
instructions on the display may vary. In the
case of displays without warning or informa-
tion texts, faults are indicated exclusively by
the warning lamps.
● When several warnings are active at the
same time, the symbol
s are shown succes-
sively for a few seconds and will stay on until
