Outside Temperature
OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE
This shows the outside Fahrenheit
temperature or the outside
Centigrade temperature.
The temperature sensor is in the
front bumper. 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
(30km/ h). When you start your trip,
the sensor is not fully acclimatized,
therefore it may take several
minutes until the proper temperature
is displayed.
Multi-Information Display
When the outside temperature is
3°C or below right after you turn the
ignition switch to the ON(II) position,
the outside temperature display
blinks for 10 seconds.
When the outside temperature drops
to 3 °C or below while the car is
travelling, you will hear chimes for 5
seconds. You will also see the
symbol '' '' on the multi-
information display.
In certain weather conditions,
temperature readings near freezing
(0°C) could mean that ice is forming
on the road surface. If the outside
temperature is incorrectly displayed,
you can adjust the outside
temperature display (see page
