Outside Air Temperature
The DIC shows the temperature
outside of the vehicle in either
degrees Fahrenheit or degrees
Celsius. A fall in temperature
is displayed immediately, while a
rise in temperature is displayed
after a short delay.
On vehicles with the base level DIC,
Q displays when the outside air
temperature is cold enough to
create icy road conditions.
On vehicles with the uplevel DIC,
“Slippery road” displays.
The road surface may already be
icy even though the DIC shows
a few degrees above freezing.
Adjust your driving accordingly.
