Snowflake on dashboard...

[December]

Ok i bought my car in the summer.. and winter just started with really low temperatures... now.. when i started my car the other day there were -4.5 degrees Celsius.. and a little snowflake apeared on the dashboard ( not the AC )
It was going on and off for a few seconds.. then it stopped and remained ON.

Now... Whats the deal with that ? is there something wrong ? What should i do ?

did the car come with a manual in the summer?

The little snowflake will be warning you of the possibility of black ice on the road

Ok, i read those threads... now... will my AC work after the engine temperature rises ? Will the snowflake dissapear after i drive my far around for a while ?

What can i do to get some heat in my car ?

Its all related to the external temps, nothing you can do.
Other than drive your car somewhere hotter. South of France perhaps?

You sure the manual isn't hiding in a light grey wallet in the slot under the steering column? They're not terribly obvious if they're pushed well in....

yes the heater will work just when its so cold the air con dosent need to work basically wont cool the air anymore! heat will still come through
