Temperature reading...

[RuiD]

I did a search, but didn't find anything about this...

I "finally" got an outside temperature of 2ºC this morning here in Portugal... I know you probably have it for a few days now... and as soon as I started the car the board computer told me that... instead of the regular time - that's perfectly fine.

What I found odd is that after driving for a few minutes the temperature was still there and I couldn't change to the time nor other information (consumption, etc.).
Is this normal? If the temperature is about freezing MUST I be reading constantly the temperature, or is there a way around to get the normal time and other info?
I have the A/C unit where the temperature is always there...

Thanks,

RuiD

so your pressing the switch on the stalk but it doesnt change the display to things like mpg or miles left etc you mean?

Precisely. In this way... if I travel through a very cold location, I can never access the clock, or km (metric here in Portugal) left, or the instant/average consumption... it's just plain weird... or there's an issue there.
What do you reckon? Some problem with the on-board computer, or electrics?
