What does it mean when the snowflake light on the vehicle dashboard is on?

The snowflake indicator light on the vehicle dashboard indicates that the outdoor temperature is quite low, reminding the driver that there may be frost on the ground. Here are some precautions for driving in frost conditions: 1. When frost appears on the ground, tire grip will deteriorate, and drivers need to drive carefully. The vehicle's onboard computer display can show the outside temperature, a function achieved through a temperature sensor fixed on the front bumper. The temperature sensor on the front bumper is usually positioned quite low. When the snowflake symbol on the dashboard lights up in winter, drivers should reduce their speed and maintain a sufficient safe distance from the vehicle ahead to prevent emergency braking. 2. If there is frost on the ground, emergency braking can easily cause the car to skid and lose control. In winter, when tire temperatures are quite low, it is advisable to drive at reduced speeds. In cases of extremely severe weather conditions, it is recommended not to drive.
