The outside air temperature indicator's displayed temperature can be recalibrated ± 3° to meet the client's expectations.

('04-05 models) 

1. Turn the ignition switch ON (II).
2. Press and hold the reset select button for 10 seconds. While you continue to hold the button, the display will scroll through temperature settings between +3° and -3° as shown.

3. When the desired correction value appears on the display, release the button, and the recalibrated outside air temperature will be displayed. Each time a desired correction value is entered, it replaces the previous value.

   Example: 

   Incorrect value = 68 ° (20°C) 

   Desired correction value = +2°F(+1°C) 

   Correct value = 70°F (21°C) 

   Desired correction value =- 2°F(- 1°C) 

   Correct value = 66°F (19°C) 

   NOTE: To recalibrate the display to the true temperature, remove the outside air temperature sensor (A), but leave it connected. Submerge the sensor and a thermometer (B) in a container of ice water (C). Select the calibration mode as described above, then recalibrate the display to the true temperature.
