Outside Temperature Indicator

If equipped
This indicator displays the outside
temperature in Fahrenheit (U.S.
models) or Celsius (Canadian
models). To see the outside
temperature, press and release the
select/reset knob until the
temperature is displayed.
The temperature sensor is in the
front bumper. Therefore, the
temperature reading can be affected
by heat reflection from the road
surface, engine heat, and the
exhaust from surrounding traffic.
This can cause an incorrect
temperature reading when your
speed is under 19 mph (30 km/h).
The sensor delays the display update
until it reaches the correct outside
temperature. This may take several
minutes.
If the outside temperature is
incorrectly displayed, you can adjust
±
it up to 5°F in U.S. models ( 3°C
in Canadian models) warmer or
cooler.
NOTE: The temperature must be
stabilized before doing this
procedure.
Select the outside temperature
display, then press and hold the
select/reset knob for 10 seconds.
The following sequence will appear
for 1 second each: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5,
− − − −
4, 3, 2, 1, 0 (U.S.) or 0, 1, 2,
− − −
3, 3, 2, 1, 0 (Canada).
When the temperature 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
(32°F, 0°C) could mean that ice is
forming on the road surface.

Trip Meter

±
The trip meter shows the number of
miles (U.S.) or kilometers (Canada)
driven since you last reset it.
There are two trip meters: Trip A
and Trip B. Switch between these
displays by pressing the select/reset
knob repeatedly.
Each trip meter works independently,
so you can keep track of two
different distances.
−
5,
When you turn the ignition switch to
the ON (II) position, your last
selection is displayed.
To reset a trip meter, display it, and
then press and hold the select/reset
knob until the number resets to ''0.0''.
