The ambient air temperature can be displayed in Celsius or Fahrenheit by pressing the SELECT switch.
If the ambient air temperature falls below 3.3°C (38°F), the ambient air temperature display alternates at a 2-second rate from "ICE" to the ambient air temperature for one minute after starting the vehicle. After one minute has elapsed, the ambient air temperature display will show only the temperature reading.
