I found this in another forum:

According to the manual:
A "snowflake" symbol in the text window is displayed when the temperature is in the range of 23 - 36° F (-5 - +2° C).
Please note that this symbol does not indicate a fault with your car.

OK. Cool. I was wondering why my snowflake wasn't on in my car at very cold temperatures.

Default Fuel Gage Failure

So the dealer told me that the issue was the fuel level sensor, and they replaced the fuel pump assy. The issue went a away for about a week, and then did it again other day. This issue only happens on startup, and sometimes the gage will intialize and then fault out. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Default Again

I took it back for the dealer and they kept the vehicle for a day, and said that the problem has been fixed. They said that the software needing updating (previously they said it was fine). My wife drove it this morning and it did it again. Anyone ever heard of this issue?
