Last week I drove from Toronto to northern Quebec. Somewhere around Sundridge or Powassan (south of North Bay) the warning gong on the car goes off and a large snow flake appears in the central display where the odometer is normally located. It stayed on for about 10 seconds and went away.

Later, when I got to Val d'Or, I found that the i-drive was warning me about the outside temperature (-3 to -7) every time I started the car up. I have been through the manual from front to back and can find no mention of these warnings or the icon. The snowflake symbol only appears to indicate the a/c button.

Were they just telling me that it was cold out and icing may be a problem? Powassen would have been about where the temp went below freezing on the way up.
