The snowflake appears when thoutside temperature drops to 40 degrees or below, it then changes to red when it is 32 degrees and below, thus letting you know when it is freezing outside so you know how to handle the roads.

The snowflake appears when the outside temperature drops to 40 degrees or below, it then changes to red when it is 32 degrees and below. It seems the manufacturer thinks this will assist you with your driving habits on frozen roadways.

I have a 2006 Jetta that flashes a snowflake and sounds a bell every time it gets below a certain temperature outside.

It is probably warning you that it is cold enough to have ice on the road if there is moisture.

LIGHT POP ON THAT LOOK LIKE A SNOW FLAKE AND NEXT TO IT LIGHT THAT LOOK LIKE A WOTER SQUIRT. IS IT TIME FOR A TUNE UP AND OIL CHANGE. IS THAT WHAT THOSE LIGHT MEAN

The snowflake is an indicator that it is possible for ice to be present on the road. The other one indicates that you need to add windshield wiper fluid to the vehicle...once it is above 32 degrees the red snowflake will go off and a yellow one will come on, once it is above 40 degrees outside the yellow light will shut off as well

Hi, on my dashboard, the 2nd light is always on red light with the fan symbol, what does it mean? What do I need to do? thanks

You have an exterior light out, i.e. head light, tail light, fog lights, turn signal etc. check them all don't forget to check high beams. Yeah, don't know why the warning light it looks the way it does, kind of looks like a snowflake to me haha : ]

Why is the ''snowflake light'' showing up red in my car?

I have a '99 Mercury Cougar & I've been read somewhere that the snowflakes have to do with the outside temp. & traction. I think it's warning you that it may be slippery or icy. I've noticed that when it's +3 to about -2 or -3, the yellow snowflake shows up. Any anything colder than -3 shows the red snowflake. The other lights: the wrench comes up in yellow. That one has always turned on after a certain amount of km's & it's advising you that your car needs a check-up (that's when I know I should look into getting an oil change). You can turn this light off by holding down the two buttons above & below the 'clock' button. Hold them down together for at least 5 seconds & that wrench light should go off. Otherwise, there is a light for checking your breaks (upside down exclamation mark), low windshield fluid. I can't think of any other ones but I hope this helps.

Yellow warning light

Dunno where you reside but our indoor/outdoor digital thermometer shows a snowflake once the temp drops down to 0C/32F. It wouldn't surprise me to learn that a Jag would have a warning light for freezing temps.
