Resetting the clock 

 
The digital clock can be reset by pressing one of the two buttons (A and B) with a pointed object such as 
the tip of a pen.  
h = hours  
m = minutes  
Maintain the pressure on the buttons for more than four seconds to change the time more quickly. 

 
Ambient temperature sensor 

 
This sensor indicates the temperature slightly above the road surface and represents air temperature 
where road icing may occur. An amber warning lamp (C) lights up when the temperature is in the range 
of 23 - 36° F (-5 - +2° C). Please note that this lamp does not indicate a fault with your car.  
At low speeds or when the car is not moving, the temperature readings may be slightly higher than the 
actual ambient temperature due to the heat generated by the engine. 

 
Display alternatives 

 
If buttons A and B are pressed down simultaneously, it is possible to shift between four different display 
alternatives, as follows: 

 
Press 1st time: 12 hour clock and °F  
Press 2nd time: 24 hour clock and °F  
Press 3rd time: 12 hour clock and °C  
Press 4th time: 24 hour clock and °C 

 
NOTE: If your battery has been disconnected, the display will default to the 24 hour clock and degrees 
centigrade.
