Ambient temp/Clock

Post by bvs »

Is there any way of selecting this to read ambient temp ?
On our car once the ambient temp is +5 c it defaults to clock reading, is there any way of altering the setting so it reads temp during warm weather ?

I'm guessing that you have a 1.4S as per your details, so, no, you would need the Climatronic A/C to get the outside ambient temperature displayed.
I'd think that all your outside air temperature is doing in your car is protecting the AC from freezing if used below +4C and alerting you to hazardous temperatures.

I guessed we were stuck with it - very strange idea but I guess it is a space saver LOL
