The outside temperature gauge is integrated in the display in the tachometer. This function displays the outside temperature. If there is a risk of icy road conditions, a snow flake symbol is displayed to warn the driver. A snowflake is displayed between -5 to +2 °C.

A sensor which detects the outside temperature is mounted in the left-hand door mirror (6/62). The temperature sensor is directly connected to the engine control module (ECM) (4/46) which then forwards the signal to the driver information module (DIM) (5/1). The temperature is displayed in Celsius or Fahrenheit, depending on the market, in increments of one degree. The unit for temperature display is a programmable customer parameter.
