of the upper radiator support in the grille opening. This
is what you usually see on the display.

temperature will not change until:
a Vehicle speed is above 25 mph (40
km/h)
for at least

remains above 25 mph (40
km/h)

the current outside temperature will be stored in the
system when you start the vehicle.
