Can we adjust the outside temperature by ourself?
I think mine is a little bit off.... when I start the car first thing in the morning, my yard thermometer is reading at 72, while the car is reading at 68.
Does anyone know how to adjust it or do I have to go to the dealer so they can charge me to repair this??  THanks a million once again |

Remember that until the car is moving something like 20-30mph the temperature reading is inaccurate.
But there is a way to calibrate it - I remember seeing it in the manual.

You can adjust it + and - 3 degrees. Its a similar procedure to resetting the amber maintenance light. Instead of pushing both SELECT and RESET buttons before you turn the key on (to reset the light), turn the key on and then push and hold both bottons. You can then manipulate the temp display plus and minus 3 degrees.

Just remember, like Sky pointed out, the temperature will not be considered accurate until you are traveling 35 mph or greater for at least 5 minutes and there are no other cars directly in front of you. Especially if the vehicle experiences a dramatic temperature change (like out of a warm garage in winter). The gauge is designed to update slowly so you don't constantly see different numbers jumping up and down every minute.
