Look at it tomorrow in daylight, you'll see a wee frost symbol whihc the light is inside of. I thought Volvo would have made the front sign light up instead, as at night time you've no clue what the light it.

The computer display also changes on my car (assume on others too) to show the temperature.

(A minor (and I mean very minor!) frustration as I (like many) usually have the display set to 'miles to zero' and this gets 'over-ridden' by the temparature setting. )
