Outside temperature display
Fig. 11 Display: outside temperature
At temperatures below 41 °F (+S °C) a snow-
flake symbol appears ahead of the tempera-
ture display . It is intended to remind the driv-
er to pay spec ial attent ion to ice on the road.
If the vehicle is stationary, or if you are driving
at a very low speed, the temperature shown in
the display might be slightly higher than the
actual outside temperature . This is caused by
the heat being rad iated from the engine .
If you have selected the °C (degrees Celsius)
unit for temperature in the MMI, the outside
temperature display also appears automat i-
cally in °C.
A
WARNING
- Never rely excl us ively on the outside
temperatu re d isplay t o determine if a
road surface is icy or not . Keep in mind
that road surfaces, especially bridges
and overpasses, could be ice covered and
slippery even at an outs ide temperature
above 41 °F (+S °C).
- Always remember, even if the "snow-
flake" symbol (ice warn ing) does not ap-
pear in the display, black ice could be on
the road.
- Always reduce your speed and dr ive with
special care in cold weather conditions
when the chance of encountering icy
road s urfaces increases .
