Temperature Display Update Process
The inside rearview mirror has a temperature program that takes in account the fact that the radiator will heat the ambient air temperature sensor if the radiator is warm and the vehicle is not moving. If the vehicle has been off for more than 2 hours, the mirror temperature program assumes that the radiator has cooled and that the temperature supplied by the ambient air temperature sensor is accurate. Because of this, if the vehicle has been off for more than 2 hours, the mirror displays the temperature as reported by the ambient air temperature sensor. When the ambient air temperature sensor reports a new temperature to the mirror, one of the following cases will apply:^ Ignition is off for more than 2 hours, then is turned on for more than 3 minutes. The outside temperature is greater than the last temperature recorded by the mirror for 2 minutes. The mirror will increase the last temperature reading by one degree every 2 minutes for 8 consecutive times. If the outside temperature is not matched after the 8th update, the mirror will then display the current outside temperature.
^ Ignition is off for more than 2 hours, then is turned on for less than 3 minutes. The mirror will update the temperature display every 2 seconds.
^ Ignition is off for more than 2 hours, then is turned on for more than 3 minutes. The outside temperature is less than the last temperature recorded by the mirror. The mirror will then display the current outside temperature.
^ Ignition has been off for less than 2 hours. The outside temperature is greater than the last temperature recorded by the mirror for 2 minutes. The mirror will increase the last temperature reading by one degree every 2 minutes for the 8 consecutive times. If the outside temperature is not matched after the 8th update, the mirror will then display the current outside temperature.
^ Ignition has been off for less than 2 hours The outside temperature is greater than the last temperature recorded by the mirror, but the ignition is cycled from on to off within 2 minutes. The mirror will display the old temperature.
^ Ignition has been off for less than 2 hours. The outside temperature is less than the last temperature recorded by the mirror. The mirror will then display the current outside temperature.
