When outside temperatures are colder than approximately +4°C (+39°F), a snowflake symbol also appears on the outside  
temperature display  
. This symbol remains on until the outside temperature rises above +6 °C (+43 °F).  
In the following situations, the temperature displayed may be higher than the actual outside temperature due to heat radiating  
from the engine:

The measurement range is from -45 °C (-49 °F) to +76 °C (+169 °F)  
WARNING  
Roads may be icy when outside temperatures are low, even if they are above the freezing point. There is an increased  
risk of an accident on icy roads. This could result in serious or fatal injuries.  
If the  
symbol is displayed in the instrument cluster display, drive with extra caution.  
Always adapt your speed and driving style to the visibility, weather, road and traffic conditions.  
Never rely solely on the outside temperature display.

Before reaching the red area, shift to the next highest gear, select the selector lever position D/S or take your foot off the  
accelerator pedal.  
NOTICE  
A heavy engine load, especially when the engine is cold, can lead to engine damage.  
Avoid high engine speeds, full acceleration and heavy engine loads when the engine is cold.  
To prevent engine damage, the tachometer indicator may only be in the red area of the scale briefly.  
Shifting up early helps save fuel and reduce operating noises.
