Outside Temperature Warning (Some Models)
When the outside temperature is low, the indication flashes and a beep sound is heard to warn the driver of the possibility of icy roads.
If the outside temperature is lower than about 4 °C (39 °F), the outside temperature display and the mark flashes for about ten seconds and a beep sound is heard once.
If the outside temperature is lower than -20 °C (-4 °F), the beep sound does not operate. However, the mark illuminates.
