Silly poll - AMB temp switch

I always wondered what that ambient temperature switch is for. You can suppress the display of the outdoors temperature, but..? what for? Cannot see the indoors temperature or seat temperature :-) What is this two-way-switch for?

Same dash is used in other cars, e.g., Mazda 6 that has climate control.

yes, I checked "spare us from stupid polls like this"

It's a three-way switch - press and hold to change the display between Fahrenheit and Celsius.

Of course, if you don't appreciate the speedo/odo button to convert from miles to kilometres, then you won't appreciate this function either!

Regards,
Gordon
