Signifgance of 3° C (37.4° F)?
I noticed, once the external temperature hits 3 degrees Celsius(37.4F) the vehicle chimes and a notification is displayed on our dashboard display with a Snowflake symbol.
What's significance of this? Is there something we should watch out for? Tire pressures, Battery level etc.? |

It's just to indicate to drive cautiously. Almost every modern car has some form of warning like this.

Exactly... at 3C air temperatures, roads can have icing, depending on where we live and drive. See it quite often, here in the Scottish Highlands. Hear the 'bong', time to be on alert for icing.

Means a-lot actually
https://science.howstuffworks.com/na...black-ice2.htm Essentially if the climate is 37 or below, and the ground already has ice on it (or did), ground temperature will still support icy conditions. Arid climates are especially notorious for having this issue when ice does happen. |

In my case - it's always like that.
I hate ASS and I always turn it off except when the temperature is below 3 ℃ - in that case I don't need to turn it off.

Further people go buy SUVs with sport wheels that come with summer tires and still treat them like AWD utlity trucks and go up to the mountains. Our SQ5 doesn't come out when it is less than 40F out bec the darn thing came with summer only tires. (no other choice) Good job Audi!
