something i found out about my 06 CL - it warns you of potential frost on the road when the temp in the trip computer drops to below 4 degrees! i was a bit miffed when the snowflake icon appeared the other day on the way to work, but when i spoke to friends at work who also drive euros, they said the same thing happened in their cars. i just thought it was a cool addition. i wonder if its has a sunnies logo for when it gets to above 35 degress in summer...
