system. It can therefore be displayed again
immediately after restarting the engine (for
example after refueling). Depending on which scale has been selected,
th
e weather map can display the following
weather data with symbols:
Rrain radar
Rstorm characteristics
Rhigh and low-pressure areas, weather fronts
Rcourse of tropical cyclones (hurricanes,
typhoons )
Rstorm warnings
Rwind direction and speeds
iThe rain radar cannot be displayed for
Alaska, Hawaii and Puerto Rico.
iHurricane: term used to describe the tropi-
cal cyclones that primarily develop in the
Atl antic, North Pacifi c andSouth Pacific
oceans. The wind speeds are above 74 mph
(118 km/h). Five categorie sare used to clas-

Legend: weather fronts
Weather frontExplanation
Cold front
(blue line with blue trian-
gles)If a cold front moves in, the weather remains changeable and there
are often rain showers and thunderstorms. The air temperature
decreases.
Warm front
(red line with red semi-cir-
cles)A warm front may cause more prolonged steady rain, more cloud
cover and a slow rise in temperature.
Stationary front
(red and blue line with red
semi-circles and blue trian-
gles)The weather front moves minimally. The weather remains change-
able in this area.
Occlusion
(purple line with purple
semi-circles and triangles)An occlusion arises when the faster cold front catches up and joins
the warm front ahead of it. The weather remains changeable and
rainy within an occlusion.
