temperature warning?

[littlelovestar]

Today my 2009 Prius just informed me the outside temperature was 37 degrees, much like it would warn me that I was low on gas.. anyone know the reasoning behind this warning? I'm in Southern California so it doesn't get this cold very often!

every car I've had previous to my Prius that had a thermometer in it would say "Ice" at 37. I think it's odd that the Prius doesn't actually give you something more informative. I'm going to be replacing the mirror in the Summer; I know the new mirror's thermometer says "Ice" at 37.

I just got this message on my 07 for the first time this weekend! I wasn't sure why it wanted me to know the outside temperature so badly either. Thanks for posting this--it's good to know what the heck my car was on about. xD
