soo, its been happening for a while now, getting +10 while its 0 outside. it would sometimes drop to the correct temperature afterwards but not always... tonight, it was -1x outside and it started off at 11 degrees on the mfd and eventually went up to 36 celcius..... anyone else have this problem?? where exactly is the sensor? is something leaking heat onto it?

park in a heated garage? if so it takes a while like 15-20 minutes to read correctly. i believe the sensor is behind the front bumper.

Yea takes 15 mins just like a thermo equiped watch once u take it off the wrist. It'll read accurately afterwards.

yea i usually park in a garage, but this was on a trip to pearson from markham which took me 30 minutes last night. so i guess it's just a problem with the sensor, since there shouldn't be anything that could be overheating in the front bumper... hopefully dealer can replicate this problem when i bring it in....

thx guys
