"
Engine temperature display
Displays the current engine temperature,
based on
a combination of coolant and engine
oil temperature. As soon as the optimum operating
temperature has been attained, the indicator
is in the center position.
If the engine oil or coolant, and thus the engine,
become too hot, a Check Control message
is displayed too."
Once reposted, I won't help noticing the slide bar looks ugly.
Thus I suggest the reading is not "coolant temp. is +26.5 C which is COLD and the door is only slightly open
", it's "ambient temp. is +26.5 C, the engine is only a little warm which is effectively COLD, a door is open". They aren't too accurate with the icon (regarding the calendar one, by the way, I initially thought the "1" within was the car's age or maintenance stint and expected it to turn "2" appropriately.
).
A white over blue, "bride" over "lone bitch" (regarding M2) should deserve congratulations, perhaps.
