View Full Version : Outside Temparature Gauge Brooker 11-07-2003, 06:27 AM Sorry for the boring question, but does anyone know if the RX8 has a display of the outside temparature. During my test drive there was so much to take in, I forgot to look. RobDickinson 11-07-2003, 06:29 AM The US one does, and is accurate if on the move. Now, my question : Does the car Auto lock when you move off? ploszek 11-07-2003, 06:48 AM Yes it does have an outside temp display. Press the "AMB" button on the right of the centre console and the temp in the LCD display changes from the requested cabin temp to outside temp. Edo 11-07-2003, 06:48 AM the one I drove didnt have autolock, having said that my tt didnt but it was a function that could be anabled.. morganrogers 11-07-2003, 07:00 AM Yep - mine does. Seems accurate. Brooker 11-07-2003, 07:05 AM Morgan Thanks for letting me know. How many miles have you done now? Still loving it (silly question)? eccles 11-07-2003, 09:04 AM BTW, you can switch the temp gauge between metric and imperial units by holding the AMB button down for a few seconds. Not that you'd probably want to, but if you suddenly find it's reading Fahrenheit one day, it's probably because your kid inadvertantly switched it while he was playing with the knobs. :) morganrogers 11-07-2003, 09:57 AM ~200 miles at <4500rpm ! Torture..... Murphy 11-07-2003, 11:08 AM Originally posted by morganrogers ~200 miles at <4500rpm ! Torture..... Morgan, I know this has been done to death on the main forum but are you limiting the revs from personal choice or from run in advice from your dealer? rael 11-07-2003, 12:15 PM Mr Rogers, Let it rip every now and then, can't do any harm. rael StealthTL 11-07-2003, 12:19 PM My (canadian) model does not have autolock. S renegade_si 11-08-2003, 05:54 AM Morgan really - jesus Ive not kept it below 4500 all the time. Nice motorway driving though which kept it ar 4500 for a good 150 miles which was good... Brooker 11-08-2003, 07:34 AM renegade_si 150 miles! Must have been sweet! How many miles have you done and how's the mpg looking? EDIT: Forget that last question - answer on MPG thread.... Contigo 11-08-2003, 02:19 PM I've done about 75 miles in mine and taken it till the buzzer comes on a few times. Dealer gave me 1/2 tank of fuel and I went straight to petrol station to fill up. Now on 3/4 of a tank with 75 miles which ain't bad at all. Better mpg than I thought to be honest and much better than my Impreza. pixelfiend 11-08-2003, 02:28 PM Hang on what's this 4500 rpm thing? I went through this with the dealer today and the only recommendation was - "go have some fun". Nothing about restricting the revs or anything. Understandably I have not been going crazy with it but I've enjoyed my 100 miles today! renegade_si 11-08-2003, 02:47 PM it says dont go above 7000 in the manual....yes I've read it!
