Outside Temperature

My 8 recently came back from the shop for a dead battery and a bad starter. A few days after getting it back, the outside temperature stopped showing up. Everything elso is there, it is just blank where the temperature should be. I was pushing buttons resetting everything because of the dead battery, so I am not sure if I turned it off. If I did, I'll be damned if I can figure out how to get it back. I miss it!

Any suggestions?

Just press the little "AMB" (short for AMBient temperature) button on the far right of the information display. (If you hold it in for 2 seconds, it'll switch from farenheit to celcius or back.)

Yeah. Mine got turned off when it was in the shop last spring getting my hood worked on. I at first thought possibly something was disconnected, so I started reading. I pushed that button and it came back.

Another suggestion - rummage around in your glove box, trunk, pass-through and so forth until you find the little book that came with your car. It's a novel about a Spanish guy named Manuel. He knew many interesting things about cars - it's a good read.

Only because we've meet Manuel. And had deep meaningful conversations with him.

If your battery is getting weak and you want to turn stuff off that eats juice while you are trying to start - this is a good one, also display, also heating for seats...
