Outside Air Temperature Indicator Calibration: Calibration

The outside air temperature indicator's displayed temperature can be recalibrated ±5 °F (±3 °C) to meet the customer's expectations.

1. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
2. Push and hold the INFORMATION (NEXT or PREVIOUS) button for at least 3 seconds to enter the customizing mode.
3. While in the customizing mode, select the "CHG SETTING", and enter the "METER SETUP." Then select the "ADJUST OUTSIDE TEMP. DISPLAY", and calibrate the value with the SEL/RESET switch and the INFORMATION (NEXT or PREVIOUS) switch.

4. When the desired correction value appears on the display, release the button, and the recalibrated outside air temperature will be displayed.

   Example: 

   Incorrect value = 68°F (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: The recalibration temperature is not the value the sensor sees.

   Therefore the temperature can only be adjusted ±5 degrees from sensors.

   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.
   NOTE: The snow mark is displayed when the temperature is 37 °F (3 °C) or less the first time you turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
