Thread: "Ice" warning on trip computer (interesting feature)

Has anyone else noticed on their 5-button trip computer, that when the temp gets to 33F or below on their outside temp gauge, the display switches back and forth between the temp, and the warning "ICE?" Just an interesting anecdote...

Yup, they all do that.

It could be a sunny day with no snow or ice or anything on the ground and it will say watch for possible ice conditions in my truck.

It's just a feature now on nearly all newer vehicles, very annoying if you ask me.

My 03 with auto-dim rear view mirror, compass and outside tenp alternates between temp and "Ice" when it's around the freezing mark.

My 98 explorer has it..not sure how new it is..lol

yes its awesome how stupid the manufacturers think their customers are
