Outside Temperature Indicator
On EX and SC models
This indicator displays the outside
temperature in Fahrenheit (U.S.
models) or Celsius (Canadian
models).
The temperature sensor is in the
front bumper. The temperature
reading can be affected by heat
reflection from the road surface,
engine heat, and the exhaust from
surrounding traffic. This can cause
an incorrect temperature reading
when your vehicle speed is under 19
mph (30 km/h). When you start your
trip, the sensor is not fully
acclimatized, therefore it may take
several minutes until the proper
temperature is displayed.
In certain weather conditions,
temperature readings near freezing
(32°F, 0°C) could mean that ice is
forming on the road surface.
If the outside temperature is
incorrectly displayed, you can adjust
it up to
ꭗ5°F in U.S. models (ꭗ3°C
in Canadian models) warmer or
cooler.
NOTE: The temperature must be
stabilized before doing this
procedure.
To adjust the outside temperature
indicator, make sure the odometer is
shown in the display, then press and
hold the select/reset knob for 10
seconds. The following sequence will
appear for 1 second each: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4,
5,
－5, －4, －3, －2, －1, 0 (U.S.) or
0, 1, 2, 3, －3, －2, －1, 0 (Canada).
When the temperature reaches the
desired value, release the select/
reset knob. You should see the new
outside temperature displayed.
