Hi there everyone.

Getting this message on the control panel.

Anyone got any ideas what it means?

Thanks loads.

Thanks.

The answer turned out to be relatively simple - if not a little odd!

When control panel is set to show outside temp, it only works when engine not running. With the motor running - it simply asks you to look at the temp reading on the dash instead.

All a bit odd if you ask me.

Best wishes.

Very odd indeed. Glad you sorted it.

Thanks for this info. Mine gave the same display today and I have Ben searching the handbook to no avail for info. I didn’t even know what my combi instrument was! Should I have know? I thought I was pretty good with stuff like this but it seems I know nothing.
Wonder if there are any more strange messages behind this display?

Phew. I just bought a used Cali and thought I had an issue. What a silly warning light
