This is the first vehicle Ive driven in 20 years missing this one thing

[HyperM3]

my manual describes in details how it works. 0-4 degree, alert pops up, below 0 becomes red. described in the instrument cluster section

Any chance you can post a picture of the page?

I recently noticed that there was something missing on my dash. Something that every other car that Ive driven for the past 20 years has had.

A snowflake, or indicator, when the outside temp is below freezing. Its silly and simple, but I actually like it to know when I should possibly be mindful of ice on the road or something. Not that I dont have a hundred other indicators on my phone saying what the weather is.

I could see this being a "McDonalds Coffee" scenario. Someone gets into an accident and sues claiming they didnt know they should be cautious about ice because they didnt get a warning, only a temp indicator.

My temp displays 10 degrees high anyway.

First off, I was being sarcastically humorous. As if not having a snowflake is actually a litigious situation with something of a reference.

Maybe another part of the world got the snowflake along with the rear seat vents....

The rear seat vents are under the front seat.

The rear seat vents are under the front seat.

For the US. ROW got actual vents in the back of the center console.

it needs its own sound... as a BMW owner, i had no idea my heart could sink so far into my stomach in the .002 seconds it takes to adjust your focus from road to dash, to read, its only a low temp warning.

LoL, I get it. I owned a E92 M3 for a few years, and the infamous 'bong' sound is the same for a below 39*F warning, and limp mode/impending engine failure warning.

I have both…under the seats and in the back console

Right, because you don't have a US model.

Also noticed today that there are no lights or reflectors on the door panels that would indicate that the door was open to someone coming up behind you. Every vehicle I have ever owned since my 1970 MACH1 has had that. I always thought it was some kind of government safety issue.

Luckily an easy fix. 3M double stick tape and 4 of those small rear bike reflectors. Said a bit tongue in cheek since we seem to have a rough crowd here... Lol

I get it, really wish there were some kind of lights that come on when the door opens. Thought about those lights that project the logo onto the ground, but they are as tacky as bike reflectors.

Just incase the door ajar warnings on the dash aren't enough to make you fully close the door.
