How do I set the outside temperature?

How do I set the outside temperature?
Experienced mechanics share their insights in answering this question :
When the outside temperature setting is turned on, then the temperature will flash when the temperatures are very low, to alert you of potential ice and dangerous driving conditions. You can turn this feature off, or turn it back on, very easily:
1. Press the Trip Computer switch until the settings menu shows up.
2. Rotate the Trip Computer switch to Alarms, then press the switch.
3. Rotate the Trip Computer switch to Outside Temp, then press the switch.
4. Rotate the Trip Computer switch to On or Off, then press the switch. When the feature is turned off, the outside temperature will still be displayed, it just will not flash.
Tips
The outside temperature can only be adjusted when the vehicle is in motion.

Reasons Your Car Heater Is Blowing Cold Air

Heater core issues. Broken heater valve. Busted thermostat. Leaking water.

The most common reasons a Nissan Rogue heater isn`t working are a broken heater blower motor, a problem with the thermostat, or a failed heater blower motor resistor.
The ambient temperature sensor (switch) is located either behind the front grille or in the front bumper. Its only job is to monitor air temperature (which it does through increasing/decreasing resistance in response to temperature fluctuations).
You may resolve the issue with a simple climate control reset by disconnecting the A/C fuse for about 10 seconds and then putting it back in.
To use the dual zone automatic climate control, push the AUTO button on the left-side knob. The current temperature settings will appear in the climate control display. Turn the driver`s side knob to adjust the temperature up or down.
If your coolant level is a-okay, but your car heater is blowing cold air and your engine is overheating, then you have a clog in your cooling system. Conversely, if your engine temperatures are unrealistically low after a drive, your thermostat is likely the culprit.
A car A/C blowing hot air is often the result of a refrigerant leak. Refrigerant is a liquid that circulates through your car`s A/C system, expanding and contracting as it removes heat and humidity from the cabin. None of the other A/C components will function correctly without proper refrigerant levels.

A/C is going crazy. The reading of the "outside temperature" resets itself. 2004 Land Cruiser
ANSWER : Hello – most likely, the outside air temp sensor has been damaged or ripped out. (They are often mounted down low just behind the front bumper, which makes them vulnerable to all sorts of things.) When the sensor is removed, or the wiring is cut for that sensor, the "open circuit" falsely tells the HVAC control that is -40F or similar – confusing the cooling function. Some vehicles will re-attempt getting another reading periodically, thinking this reading is incorrect. Replacing the air temp sensor, or fixing the damaged wiring, will eliminate this problem. i would recommend a wiring inspection for this circuit by a mobile, professional mechanic, such as one from YourMechanic, who will come to your location, diagnose this problem, give you an accurate assessment of damage and cost estimate for repairs.

There was a temperature change in my car.
ANSWER : Hi there. The thermostat on the air conditioning is not functioning correctly. I recommend replacing the thermostat temperature scanner for your air conditioning system. The thermostat will determine when the blend doors are to activate and when the air conditioning clutch is to engage. If you need further assistance with your air conditioning system, then seek out a professional, such as one from Your Mechanic, to help you.

How do I set dual zone temperatures?
ANSWER : When the dual zone temperature setting is turned on, then the driver side and passenger side temperatures can be adjusted separately. To turn this feature on, press the Dual button. Press the button again to turn the system off and have all the temperature zones controlled together.
Tip
The dual zone temperature will automatically be set when the passenger temperature controls are used.

How do I change the Language settings for the main display? The language settings only seem to change in the small upper display.
ANSWER : This can be very difficult when your vehicle is set to a language that is unfamiliar to you. I would recommend looking in your owner’s manual for information relating to the radio interface. This will help to determine how to switch languages on the screen. If not, I would recommend asking a spanish speaking friend if they can navigate the menu for you and change the language back to engish. If all else fails, I would recommend visiting your local Honda dearship as they should certainly be able to help you.

How do I adjust the outside temperature display?
ANSWER : If you notice that your vehicle’s outside temperature display is off by a few degrees, you can adjust it to a few different settings: roughly 5 degrees colder, or roughly 5 degrees warmer. To adjust the outside temperature display to make it more accurate, follow these steps:
1. Turn the ignition to On, while making sure the vehicle is completely stopped.
2. Press the Menu button.
3. Use the +/- buttons to highlight Customize Settings, then press Source.
4. Use the +/- buttons to highlight The Computer Setup, then press Source.
5. Use the +/- buttons to highlight Adjust Outside Temp. Display, then press Source.
6. Use the +/- buttons to choose between ~ -5°F, ~ ±0°F, and ~ +5°F, then press Source.

How do I change the outside temperature unit?
ANSWER : The outside temperature can be displayed in either Fahrenheit or Celsius. To change the outside temperature display, press and hold the H and M buttons on the clock, simultaneously, for more than one second but less than three seconds.

How do I use the Coolant Temperature setting?
ANSWER : The driver information center (DIC) has a very large amount of information that can be displayed. At any moment, you can choose what information you would like the DIC to display. To select the Coolant Temperature setting to be displayed, press the Menu button on the turn signal lever until the main Vehicle Information menu appears on the DIC. Then, use the arrows on the turn signal lever to scroll to Coolant Temperature, then press the Set/Clr button. When the Coolant Temperature setting is selected, the DIC will display the current temperature of the engine’s cooling system.
