ture, speed and other measurements in the Infotainment system .
- If your vehicle is stationary or if you are driv­
ing at
very low speeds, the temperature dis­
played may be slightly higher than the ac­
tual temperature outside due to the heat ra­
diating from the engine.
- At temperatures below 41 °F (+S °C), a
snowflake symbol appears in front of the
