Yes, it does.

on my 99, i have a ambient temp button, and i have been wondering since i got the car if it can read negitive tempatures. well, i hust got back from driving around, and i pressed the button, and it read: -2. it's cool that it goes dwon into the negitives, but it sucks that it is this freaking cold outside!

well, just an FYI.

Why wouldn't it. It's a thermometer

Some types of systems like this have programmed limits. For instance, many thermocouple readout displays won't display a temperature above 1350C degrees. The reason for this is that the thermocouple itself isn't designed to be taken to temperatures higher than that. There are other reasons for this kind of thing, but that was just an example.

i would think that they would set the limits in a resonable outdoor temperature range... somewhere between 150 and -60 ... (random guess). i don't see why anyone would expect it not to go down into the negative range...

ambiant button witnesses -25 C in Montreal these days

Sometimes the display may not have the capability to display a negative sign. But apparently this isn't a problem whatsoever.

What is up witht the cold spell up there this year? I mean, I read that there were some record lows up in the NorthEast (where you all are) that have not been matched since like 1893. WOW!

Thanks! I had seen down to 2 degress and was wondering if it would indeed show negatives.

What models have this button

MacGyver265

All Auto Climate controlled models have an "AMB" spot on the display for it, but I think only the 98/99 models of ACC have it, or are able to mod it so it works.

The other morning something was knocking at the back door. I got the door. I was the thermometer. I guess it wanted to get inside a warm house.

up here in Maine, the wind chill factor was -45. you couldn't even get out to get your paper in the morning w/o having your nostrils freeze up....no joke. I LOVE IT!

...and lungs become brittle and crack.

so is that why it hurts to breath when it is that cold out? i never understood why...

-Chris

I was using a figure of speech. Nevertheless very cold dry air is detrimental for the respiratory system. This is why humidifiers are recommended in houses in winter to help breathing if you have the flu or a cold.

In very cold weather it is better breathing through the nose. Cold air will warm up a little through the nose before it reaches the lungs.
