Risk of accident
The road surface may be icy, especially in
wooded areas or on bridges, even if temper-
atures are just above freezing point. The ve-
hicle could skid if you fail to adapt your driv-
ing style. You should therefore always adapt
your driving style and speed to suit the
weather conditions.
There is a short delay before a change in
outside temperature is displayed.
