A WARNING
-
- Never rely exclusively on the outside
temperature display to determine if a
road surface is icy or not . Keep in m ind
that road surfaces, espec ially br idges
and overp asses, could be ice covered and
slippe ry even at an outside tempe ratu re
above 4 1 °F (+5 °C).
- Always remembe r, even if the "snow-
f lake" symbo l (ice warning) does not ap-
pear in the disp lay, black ice could be on
the road .
- Always reduce your speed and d rive with
specia l care in cold weather cond itions
when the chance of encountering icy
road surfaces increases.
(D Tips
- If the vehicle is stationary, or if you are
dr iving at a very low speed, the tempera-
t ure s hown in the d isp lay m ight be
slightly higher than the actual outside
temperature. This is caused by the heat
being radiated from the engine .
- On vehicles with Audi Navigat ion sys-
tem *, the displays may differ from their
normal appearance during navigation .
