Exclamation Cold Weather Chime

To all new owners; that chime when you turn on the ignition when its really chilly outside is an ice warning. its chimes when the outside temperature is 3 degrees celcius or lower. This is in your owners manual.

Now can we please have a winter free of threads asking what that ding noise was.

Thank you
