Personalization
These features allow both drivers to personalize their
own climate control settings as well as their radio
settings. For more information, seeClimate Controls
Personalization on page 3-36andRadio Personalization
with Home and Away Feature on page 3-98.
The outside temperature is always available for display
if it has been selected for a DIC display when your
vehicle is running unless an overriding DIC message
appears. You can change the temperature from
Fahrenheit to Celsius by pressing the ENG/MET
(English/metric) button on the instrument panel. For
more information on the DIC, seeDIC Warnings
and Messages on page 3-55.
The electronic sensor can be affected by road or engine
heat during idling, slow driving or when the engine is
first started after a short trip. To ensure proper automatic
climate control operation, the outside air temperature
display may not update as quickly as expected. This is
to allow the air surrounding the outside temperature
sensor to be as close to the actual outside conditions as
possible. This is determined by how much time has
elapsed since the vehicle has been turned off and by
vehicle speed.
