Outside temperature display
Fig. 11 Display: outside temperature
At temperatures below 39 °F (+4 °C), a snow-
flake symbol appears in front of the tempera-
ture display . It is intended to rem ind the driv-
er to pay special attent ion to
ice on th e road .
If the vehicle is stationary, or if you are driving
at a very low speed, the temperature shown in
the display might be slightly higher than the
actual outside temperature . This is caused by
the heat being radiated from the engine.
The unit of measurement for the temperature
can be set in either °For in °Con the MMI* or
on the radio control un it . The outside temper-
ature display automatical ly shows the unit of
measurement that has been set. For addition-
al information, see the MMI* or the radio in-
struction manua l.
A WARNING
- Never use the outside temperature dis-
play 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 39 °F (+4 °C).
- Always remember, even if the "snow-
flake" symbol (ice warn ing) does not ap-
pear in the display, black ice could be on
the road.
-Always reduce your speed and drive with
special care in cold weather conditions
when the chance of encounte ring icy
road surfaces increases.
