Logic for outside temperature display

摘要

A method for controlling an automobile exterior temperature display during a first period of time following starting the automobile includes comparing an ambient temperature to a display temperature and comparing a speed of the automobile to a threshold speed. If the speed is above the threshold speed and the sensed ambient temperature is more than a predetermined amount above the displayed temperature, the displayed temperature is adjusted at a first rate. The comparisons are continued for a predetermined period of time and, following the predetermined period of time, the displayed temperature is permitted to increase at a second rate. The second rate of increase is slower than the first rate of increase.
