Just curious to know. The temperature probe which records the outside
temperature must be located outside of the car's interior? Where is it
located? Under the hood of the car or upfront in the radiator area?
I noticed that there is one or two sensors inside the car's front
glass windshield, but I think that is to detect lightness and darkness
outside (i.e. for turning on head lights).
Thanks for info.

Look under the passenger side of the front bumper, in front of the AC
condenser for what looks like a small horn. That is the outside
temperature sensor.

The sensors inside the car on the dashboard are for the automatic headlights
and for the AC system.

Thanks for your reply. I will check under the hood next time I have
the chance. It is too cold now. Thanks.
