ment cluster display when the ignition and navigation system are switched on ⇒ Compass.

WARNING
Roads and bridges may be dangerously icy even if the outside air temperature is above freezing.
x If you use the outside temperature display to tell you about frost conditions, remember that roads can even ice over at temperatures above +39 °F (+4 °C). Always remember: even if the “snowflake symbol” (ice warning) is not displayed, there could still be black ice on the road.
x Never rely exclusively on the outside temperature display.
