Outside Temperature

The outside temperature sensor consists of an NTC resistor across which the resistance varies with temperature. The control module registers the outside temperature by measuring the thermistor resistance.

If the outside temperature drops from a higher temperature down to 3° C (37° F) or rises from a lower temperature to -3° C (26° F), the outside temperature will automatically be shown on the display irrespective of which display the Electronic Display Unit (EDU) control module is set to.

This display remains until the outside temperature leaves the range of -6° C (43° F) to 6° C (21° F) or until another function is selected by pressing the INFO button.

The EDU control module then sends a temperature signal to the Automatic Climate Control (ACC) control module.
