“…this one thing.” Stop with the clickbait titles.

Cool first post! Wasnt really clickbait though. It truly is the one thing that I havent seen in a vehicle in over 20 years now.

You omit the "thing" in the title, that's the very definition of "clickbait." This whole thread might need a snowflake alert.

I may have lost the sense of this thread, but I can confirm on my Euro ranger there is an ice condition alert on the dash, with snowflake popping up in orange next to the temp. And the “ding” accompanying it. This happens every time ext temp goes below 4 Celsius

What year is your ranger? Thank you for confirming you have it.

First one, bought in Oct 22, produced in Jun 2023, delivered Nov 23. It’s a V6 wildtrak

I did replace on my own the 8” dash with a 12” dash, and on both the alert exits. So it should not be dash-related.

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.

Interesting. Ill have to see if I can enable that. Also, I looked through the manual and there was no mention of this indicator on the dash for the US.

I’ll check on mine where it is described

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