Asterisk or snowlake?

It finally got cold here today - temperature dropped from 60 to 39 deg F in a matter of a couple hours.

Something odd happened. On the trip computer display in the center of the instrument binnacle, the normal "EXT" text next to the temperature was replaced with a snowflake. I also believe there was a 'bong' warning chime to go with it.

Any ideas what that was/is ?

Thanks!

It is a warning for potential ice on the roads when the temp drops to 4 degrees C. Too late at night to work out the degs f trigger Yawn

It also means zip up your jacket and put the wooly hat on when leaving the vehicle. Wink

Ah. That makes some sense.

4 deg c = 40 deg f

The indicator came up just as it dropped below 40 F.

Strange I couldn't find that in the owner's manual anywhere.

No FBH in USA V8's! only on the diesel engine in colder temperate climes.
