Outside Temperature Indicator

(For some types)
This indicator displays the outside
temperature in Centigrade. To see
the outside temperature, press and
release the Select/Reset knob until
the temperature is displayed.
The temperature sensor is located in
the front bumper. Therefore, the
temperature reading can be affected
by heat reflection from the road sur-
face, engine heat, and the exhaust
from surrounding traffic. This can
cause an incorrect temperature read-
ing when your speed is under
30 km/h (19 mph).
When you start your trip, the sensor
is not fully acclimatized, therefore it
may take several minutes until the
proper temperature is displayed.
If the outside temperature is
incorrectly displayed, you can adjust
it up to 3°C warmer or cooler.
±
NOTE: The temperature must be
stabilized before doing this
procedure.
Select the outside temperature
display, then press the Select/Reset
knob for 10 seconds. The following
sequence will appear for one second
each: 0, 1, 2, 3, 3, 2, 1, 0.

When it reaches the desired value,
release the Select/Reset knob. You
should see the new outside
temperature displayed.
In certain weather conditions,
temperature readings near freezing
(0°C) could mean that ice is forming
on the road surface.
