are driving, some functions and vehicle com ­
ponents are scanned for their operating sta­
tus. Malfunctions or required service proce­
dures are signaled audibly and shown by red
and yellow lighted symbols and rem inders to
the dr iver in the display.
T he driver is also shown information about ra­
d io and CD operation and directions for the
navigation system*. You can find add itional
information on these subjects in the rad io or

er to pay special attent ion to
ice on the roa d.
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 . Th is 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
a l information, see the MMI* or the radio in ­
struction manua l.
A WARNING
- Never use the outside temperature d is ­
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, eve n if the "snow­
flake" symbol ( ice warn ing) does not ap­
pear i n the display, black ice could be on
the road .
-Always reduce your speed and dr ive with
special care in cold weather conditions
when the chance of encounte ring icy
road surfaces increases .
