What Does the Snowflake Symbol on the Dashboard Mean?

[LaMargaret]

When the snowflake symbol appears on the dashboard, it is alerting the driver that the outside temperature is low, warning of potential icy road conditions and advising cautious driving. It is simply a friendly reminder. Meaning of the Frost Warning Light: When the outside temperature drops too low, the frost warning light will illuminate, displaying a snowflake-like symbol in the lower right corner of the tachometer. The frost warning light indicates that the outdoor temperature has dropped to a certain level—a yellow light comes on when the temperature is below 4°C, and a red light comes on when it is below 0°C. Due to the drop in temperature, the car's anti-freeze function will activate. Precautions When the Frost Warning Light Is On: If the indicator light is orange, it means the issue is not severe. However, if it is red, the car must be warmed up before driving. The standard warm-up procedure involves idling the engine until the coolant temperature reaches 50°C before driving. Additionally, avoid pressing the accelerator too hard when the engine is cold, as this not only wastes fuel but also damages the engine.
