Some functions and vehicle components are
scanned for their operating status when you
switch the ignition on and whi le you are driv-
ing . Malfunctions or required service proce-
dures are signaled audibly and indicated by
red and yellow illuminated symbols and re-
minders in the display.
A WARNING
- -
- Never rely exclusively on the outside
temperature display to determine if a
road surface is icy or not . Keep in mind
that road surfaces, especially bridges
and overpasses, could be ice covered and
slippery even at an outside temperature
above 41 °F (+S °C).
- Always remember,
even if the "snow-
flake" symbol (ice warning) does not ap-
pear in the disp lay, black ice could be on
the road.
- Always reduce your speed and drive with
special care in cold weather conditions
when the chance of encountering icy
road surfaces increases.
¢j) Tips
If the vehicle is stationary, or if you are
driving at a very low speed, the tempera-
ture shown in the display might be slightly
higher than the actual outside tempera-
ture. This i.s caused by the heat being radi-
ated from the engine .
