Main Menu Table Of Contents Multi-Information Display Outside Temperature OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE U.S. CANADA The temperature sensor is in the front bumper. The temperature reading can be affected by heat reflection from the road surface, engine heat, and the exhaust from surrounding traffic. This can cause an incorrect temperature reading when your vehicle speed is under 19 mph (30 km/h). When you start your trip, the sensor is not fully acclimatized, therefore it may take several minutes until the proper temperature is displayed. You can adjust the outside temperature display (see page 97 ). In certain weather conditions, temperature readings near freezing (32°F, 0°C) could mean that ice is forming on the road surface. Engine Oil Life Instruments and Controls ENGINE OIL LIFE This shows the outside Fahrenheit temperature in U.S. models, and Centigrade temperature in Canadian models. This shows the remaining life of the engine oil. It shows 100% after the engine oil is replaced and the display is reset. The engine oil life is calculated based on engine operating conditions and accumulated engine revolutions. For more information, see page 387 . 2008 RL 73
