  • Little icon on trip computer

    I was driving home this morning from work when i was flicking through the trip computer display when i noticed beside the temp readout a little snow flake (i think)symbol. I was wondering if anyone knows what it means as i haven't seen it before and it isn't in the book.

    It occurs when the ambient (external) temperature falls below 4C, and is an ice warning.

    (happens all the time in Canberra winters ...but heated leather seats are an adequate compensation )

      Thanks Timbo, it was 4 degrees this morning that would explain it.

          And it turns off when the temp gets above 6 degrees, which rarely happens in the Canberra winter

              In Brisbane it appears all the time.

              My temp has been down to 6, but I live in the sticks in Northern Brisbane.

              I saw it lots when I did my drive trip round Europe in a Peugeot 307.

                  until now i haven't pushed the car in cold weather.... i have noticed over the past few weeks when the temps get down at night that performance improved significantly. a lot more than my last 2 N/A cars anyway.

                    You drive at night with your sunnies on ???

                    I get it lots out west of Sydney, and Tim's right; the leather seats are a real treat when it's that cold outside
