This indicator displays the outside
temperature in Centigrade.
The temperature sensor is located in
the front bumper. Therefore, the
temperature reading can be affected
by heat reflection from the road sur-
face, engine heat, and the exhaust
from the surrounding traffic. This
can cause the temperature reading
not to be correct when your speed is
under 30 km/h (19 mph).
If the outside temperature is
incorrectly displayed, you can adjust
it up to
3°C warmer or cooler.
NOTE: The temperature must be
stabilized before doing this
procedure.
Press the Select/Reset knob for 10
seconds. The following sequence will
appear for one second each: 0, 1, 2, 3,
3, 2, 1, 0, 1.
When the temperature reaches the
desired value, release the Select/
Reset knob. You should see the new
outside temperature displayed.
In certain weather conditions,
temperature readings near freezing
(0°C) could mean that ice is forming
on the road surface.
This shows the temperature of the
engine’s coolant. During normal
operation, the pointer should rise to
about the middle of the gauge. In
severe driving conditions, such as
very hot weather or a long period of
uphill driving, the pointer may rise
into the upper half of the gauge. If it
reaches the red (hot) mark, pull in
safely to the side of the road. Turn to
page
on petrol models and page
on diesel models for instructions
and precautions on checking the
engine cooling system.
