Am I missing it, or is there no cabin temp reading?

I think there is a freeze warning indicator...at least last winter I remember something on my dash flashing....think it comes on around 36-37 degrees to warn of possible ice on the road.
Have to run thru my manual again.

Maybe on the Lariat then, there doesn't seem to be one on the cluster w/ analog gauges.

The only thermometer that matter is the woman sitting next to you...doesn't matter it's comfortably 72F, if she's says it's hot then the gauge is wrong...

The only correct temp is what Mrs says it is...doesn't matter it's comfortably 72F, if she's says it's hot, only 60F will do...

If mama ain't happy, nobody's happy.

It is something you can enable in Forscan - I turned mine on a few years ago and found it to be useful. I think the snowflake appears when it is below 40 degrees.

Guess the Ranger doesn't have one....probably saw it on my wife's Subi which has one.

Interesting. I've never in my life gone to look at the thermostat to determine if I'm hot or cold... I just adjust it according based on how I feel. Whether I feel hot or cold is usually based on how fast the air is blowing on me and not even necessarily the temp it is set to.

My XLT with the bare bones 300A pkg and tiny, 4” no-touch screen has this very system. Works every time.

I’m pretty sure my XLT without the electronics pkg has a chime warning at 4° C.

The way the weather is changing, I’ll be able to let you know for sure in a couple of days. ?

I took a pic of the right side cluster on my Lariat and it shows the outside temp. I'm almost positive that when temp gets to a certain cold temp that it's replaced by "the snowflake" or it flashes, or does something.....I'll just have to pay attention during cold spells this year.
Also, nothing in the manual about it.
Sorry for the blurry pic...the number referring too is the lower left...59 Degrees.

Did you know that “Lariat” is Spanish for “half a cluster”?

 

[Grumpaw]

Forgot...the outside temp is also displayed on the center screen...

Been confused about this for a while. There are a total of 4 temperatures listed on sync 3 and the dash, but I think none of those are the actual internal cabin temperature.
Dash: climate setpoint
Sync3: 2x climate setpoint (driver/passenger), 1x outside air temp

Am I missing it, or there is truly no cabin temp reading, and duplicates of others?

If there isn't, at first I though that maybe that's because there are 2 (dual) climate zones, so it'd be confusing what to show -- but, there IS global temperature sensor in the cabin that's used for the recirculation function, so I don't think that's it.

Also, i also thought maybe cabin temp isn't shown, because Ford thinks only the desired temp is what matters. But then, why is the outside temp shown?

Overall really odd =)

Dang JB, see what you started by asking a simple question?

I had programmed it to display with Forscan. If my neice ever rode in my truck and it would get below 40 degrees, I could give her a little nudge and say, "look, my truck has turned into a snowflake!" She would eventually laugh and say, "Uncle Robert," and give me a little elbow back, lol!

Ha ha! Same from my XL - pretty sophisticated human-machine interface that works pretty much every time!

Excellent video.

I've never thought about IF the in-cab temp was monitored, but thanks to special snowflakes, now I must ponder this and figure out something to buy and add to Soupie. =)

I always assumed that the remote start feature to either use the last AC setting or get the cab to 72° used some type on internal sensor.

But maybe it just goes: "it's more than 72° outside, so turn on the AC" or "it's less than 72°, turn on the heat". I've never left it long enough to see if it keeps it around 72° by modulating between heat and AC, but since it only runs 15 minutes on a normal remote start, not sure how crazy it could get. I suppose I could hit remote start twice to get the 30 minute duration and set up a temperature experiment in the cab.

temp experiment or looks like some member's added dash electronics

Nah, as long as the beer's cold, then all's right with temperatures around me! =)

98.6° seems like a nice temperature too.

I have this indoor/outdoor monitor in my truck while I'm towing. It tells me the temp of the refrigerator in the TT. It's just a feel-good thing I do because I can. I don't recall ever paying any attention to the temp inside the truck even though it's there to see.
