Temperature Alert


When the outside temperature drops to 35°F (1.7°C) or less, the ICU displays a caution text at one-second intervals for five seconds, and an audible alert sounds. Tap the + or  switch on the steering wheel, or the mode/reset switch, to acknowledge the message. The audible alert will not sound again unless the temperature cycles above 37°F (4°C) and back to 35°F (1.7°C) or less. This warning only occurs while the ignition is on and the parking brake is released.

The temperature alert message allows the driver to enable or disable the ambient temperature warning.

Press and hold the mode/reset switch to toggle between on and off. Release the mode/reset switch, then tap it to select the displayed choice.
