Just hit around low 90's here in Boston area yesterday and I noticed two things which didn't seem accurate.
First, the outside temperature gauge report 100 to 102F degrees while driving when reportedly outside it was low 90's. Maybe 95 max. Saw this SEVERAL times yesterday afternoon during the first real hot day here outside Boston. Seems like the thermometer is picking up radiant heat from the car somewhere.
Question: Does anyone know where the external car temperature probe is located on the car?
Also noticed in heavy traffic that the front-collision radar didn't record cars which were close to the front of my Sig CX-9 while driving forward. Their presence didn't seem to recognize the cars until they were VERY close (or even at all). Anyone know if heat can impact the performance of the Mazda Forward Obstruction Warning millimeter-wave radar?
On the other hand, the Air conditioner seemed to startup VERY well and keep the car comfortable, unlike many reports here. First time I had the chance to test what others have reported, but I don't have any real complaints. 90's and sunny and it seemed to work well.
