Not a question, or a moan, just an observation.

If, like me, you cannot be bothered to read owners manuals from start to finish, here's something rather cool I noticed as I set off to work this morning.

Just after setting off, I heard an audible warning signal and immediately looked at the fuel gauge. This was half full (or empty) so just carried on with my journey, BUT replayed a few times a part of the cd I was listening to, just to see if this sound was part of the track. :confused:

I then glanced at the clock/trip readout of the dash and noticed that the outside temp was displayed (without me having touched it) and showing a reading of 4*. So THAT was the warning sound.....how cool is that??

I consulted the manual and this is normal when the outside temp is between -5 and 5 degrees......for road safety purposes.

Probably comes as no suprise to most, I just thought it was a nice touch.

WOW, really?! That is very :cool:

Nice one Skoda

Yep, its to warn you of black ice on the road.

Just dont brag to much, it would seem the bong is no longer a feature of the 'propper' vRS we keep hearing about...lol.

I thought so....it is designed to tell you that the road conditions may be a bit dicey.....

@ Ross Clarke.....'proper vRS????' I thought we had proper vRS's

You get a bong in a vRS? Why didnt I get one?

We do, we just let the others think they are superior to keep the peace

/me passes pbirkett the bong...

ummm here yer go

Becomes a pain in the **** during the winter when your travelling through areas with slight variations in temperature - hills etc. Warning keeps going off every time you enter a colder region.

I found that if you keep it on the temperature display, once the warning sounds it will not sound again if there are more variations in temperature.

A very good feature safety wise, however usually scares me to death when it goes off.......

I consulted the manual and this is normal when the outside temp is between -5 and 5 degrees......for road safety purposes.

A good feature, but I wonder why it's only active only down to -5C and not beyond that?

Hmm, dunno... because below that it's obvious that the roads are icy? :confused: Not sure...

It gets annoying if you are also low on petrol/diesel and washer fluid though.
