Do we have an outside temp display?

I've seen several photos on Ebay motors that show the Outside Temperature in the small display between the tach and speedo. I've been all over the manual and menus on the main display interface and don't see any reference.

If we have one, how can it be accessed?

You have to cycle through using the top right side button of the instrument cluster.

What?!?!? You don't get the most F'ing annoying bright-a$$ red screen that shouts "Low Temperature Warning" right in your face whenever it drops below 37 degrees?!? If I could turn that damn thing off, my morning commute would be considerably more pleasant.

I tried this and this does indeed work. Today is 47 degrees Fahrenheit in Montreal (at least when the car is stopped after the morning commute as it is really just above freezing). Is there a way to change to Celsius? The control on the Nav unit is set to Metrci but doesn't affect this display.

not sure if it's been covered or reinstated at all, but to the OP you must cycle through the top right button near the dash.

I had searched the manual in the "monitor climate and environment" and wasn't able to find it there or in the index at the back. However, thanks to all the kind words and advice, I now have it working in Celsius as desired.

Thanks again for your help. PS - it is on page 2-26 in the manual.
