WARNING!

Do not rely on the outside temperature display as an ice warning. Bear in mind that there may be patches of ice on the roads even at outside temperatures around +5 ℃ – risk of accident!

Note

You can change the measurement units for temperature or speed, etc. via the infotainment system.
When the vehicle is stationary or travelling at very low speeds, the temperature displayed may be slightly higher than the actual outside temperature as a result of the heat radiated from the engine.
At temperatures below +5°C a snowflake symbol appears next to the temperature display WARNING!.
For information on how to operate the audio/video and navigation^* functions, please refer to the separate Operating Manual for your infotainment system.
