Outside temperature display
GWarning!
The outside temperature display is not
designed as an ice-warning device and is
therefore unsuitable for that purpose.
Indicated temperatures just above the
freezing point do not guarantee that the
road surface is free of ice. The road may
still be icy, especially in wooded areas or
on bridges. Your vehicle could start to skid
if you do not adjust your driving style
accordingly.
Therefore, always adjust your driving style
to the prevailing road and weather
conditions.
Example illustration (U.S. vehicles)
i Canada vehicles: The outside
temperature display shows °C instead
of °F.
The outside temperature display appears
in the multifunction display continuously.
A change of the outside temperature will be
displayed with delay.
