NOTE: Digital displays showing the Clock will go off 30 minutes after the ignition has been switched
off. To view this display again, turn the ignition key to position I.

Ambient temperature sensor

This sensor indicates the temperature slightly above the road surface and represents air temperature
where road icing may occur. An amber indicator light (C) in the "snowflake" symbol lights up when the
temperature is in the range of 23 - 36° F (-5 - +2° C). Please note that this light does not indicate a
fault with your car.
At low speeds or when the car is not moving, the temperature readings may be slightly higher than the
actual ambient temperature due to the heat generated by the engine.

Display alternatives

If buttons A and B are pressed down simultaneously, it is possible to shift between four different display
alternatives:
Press 1st time: 12 hour clock and °F
Press 2nd time: 24 hour clock and °F
Press 3rd time: 12 hour clock and °C
Press 4th time: 24 hour clock and °C
