stupid question 2 of hundreds

[ianst28]

ok i think i know the answer but i'm not sure so i'll ask
the temp display has in my 19td has started flashing ..... only the C bit but it's deff flashing

am i right in thinking it's because it's really cold and the car is warning me not to stuff it in a hedge ?????

[steve_earwig]

Possibly, what temperature does it say? (it was 20 degrees here today but I hear it was snowing in Blighty )

[ianst28]

lol 20 thats just not fair hand over the good weather steve

it was reading 3 degrees today

just out of interest is ther any way to get it to read in f

[Doggy]

Mine does it at anything under 4 degrees

[steve_earwig]

There you have it My D8's has never flashed, I don't seem to remember the '9 doing it either. Not sure about f, there's not much I can do with mine, external temp in c is all I seem to get

[Welly]

Yes it flashes at 3deg C and below.

Mine showed minus 2 yesterday morn accompanied of course by the D9's RISK OF ICE warning on the mfd

Mine flashed between 4 and -4, never bothered to flash at anything lower than -4 thou..... probably a bit of a programing oversite. The french

If you hold down the left hand button then you can cycle through the options, time, date etc and change the format of the temp to F, I believe.

I had my first "ice twitch" of the year this morning (what's happened to the weather?) the temp was showing 1 deg C and I think it must have rained in the night and then frozen black ice for sure! one short stretch of road was really weird especially when I saw a Fiesta "drifting" round a bend

Yes it's not much fun first thing at the moment, especially on 2 wheels!

Ahhhhhhh would this be the infamous button on the stalk cuz i don't have one of those any other ideas to get it to read F ?????

[mbell666]

its the bottons on the side of the display, one of left one on right. one scrolls (left?) other one takes you into the settings. fairly straight forward (for a french system!)

That's only on the D9s.

The D8 only has a button (at the end of the stalk) if it has trip computer functionality. To get it to read fahrenheit you need to ground one of the pins on the back of the unit. No idea which though.
