A WARNING
Do not assume the roads are free of ice based
on the outside temperature display. Be aware
that there may be ice on roads even when the
outside temperature is around 41 °F ( +5 °C)
and that ice can increase the risk of accidents.

ture, speed and other measurements in the
Infotainment system .
- If your vehicle is stationary or if you are driv­
ing at very low speeds , the temperature dis­
played may be slightly higher than the ac­
tual temperature outside due to the heat ra­
diating from the eng ine.

igation* functions, refer to the separate In­
fotainment system owner's manual.
