Outside temperature display

At temperatures below 39 °F (+4 °C), a snowflake
symbol appears in front of the temperature dis -
play. It is intended to remind the driver to pay
specia l attent ion t o

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 act ual
outside temperature . This is caused by the heat
be ing rad iated from the engine.
The unit of measurement for the temperature
can be set in either °For in °Con the MMI* or on

disp lay automatically shows the unit of measure-
ment that has been set. For add itional informa -
tion, see the
MMI* or the rad io instruction man -
ual.

symbol (ice warn ing) does not appear in the
display, black ice could be on the road .
