Outside Temperature Display
Push the switch when the ignition key is in the "ACC" or "ON" position. The outside temperature will be displayed in "°F".
Selecting the indication range
Push the switch to change from "°F" to "°C".
When the outside temperature drops below freezing point, ICE is displayed on the unit.
When the outside temperature is between 55°C (130°F) and 70°C (158°F), the display shows 55°C (130°F).
When the outside temperature is lower than -30°C (-20°F) or higher than 70°C (158°F), the display shows only "-" though it is operating. This is not a problem.
The indicated temperature on the thermometer is not readily affected by engine heat. It changes only when one of the following conditions is present.
- The temperature detected by the ambient air temperature sensor is lower than the indicated temperature on the thermometer.
- The difference in temperature detected during a period of 40 seconds is less than 1°C (1.8°F) when vehicle speed has been greater than 24 km/h (15 MPH) for more than 100 seconds.
(This is to prevent the indicated temperature from being affected by engine heat or cooling fan operation during low-speed driving.)
- The ignition key has been turned to the "OFF" position for more than 4 hours. (The engine is cold.)
