What does the snowflake symbol on the car dashboard mean?
1 Answers
When the snowflake symbol appears on the car dashboard, it may indicate that the outdoor temperature is too low, the outdoor temperature sensor is damaged, or there is a signal transmission error. Below is relevant information about the snowflake warning light: 1. Color: When driving in environments with outdoor temperatures below 4°C, the sensor detects excessively low temperatures to alert drivers about potential weather conditions. Typically, the snowflake light appears yellow on the dashboard between 0-4°C, and turns red when temperatures drop below 0°C. 2. Occurrence scenarios: If the outdoor temperature sensor is damaged, the snowflake light may display incorrect temperature readings transmitted through wiring and control systems to the dashboard. The warning light activates when the displayed temperature is either significantly lower or higher than the actual temperature.
