le

A
WARNING
-
-
- Never rely exclusively on the outside tem-
pe ratu re d isplay to dete rm ine if a road sur-
face is icy or not. Keep in mind that road sur-
faces, espe cially bridges and overpasses,
could be ice covered and slippery even at an
outside temperature
above 41 °f (+S °C).
- Always remember, even if the "snowflake"
symbo
l
(ice warning) does not appear in the
display, black ice cou ld be on the road
.
-Always red uce your speed and d rive with
specia
l
care in cold weather conditions when
the chance of encountering icy road surfaces
increases.

Tips
If the vehicle is stationary, or if
you a
re driv-
ing at a very low speed, the temperature
shown in the disp lay might be slightly higher
than the actual outside temperature
.
This is
caused by the heat being radiated from the
engine.
