Question Curious thing going on with my screen

Has anyone noticed an interesting phenomenon where your outside temperature gauge on the screen occasionally flips from F to C when it is below 32F outside? I am not sure if this is something I did by hitting a 'magic' spot on the screen, or if something might have been done during my last service which was about a week ago.

I've never noticed that in my '06... but I do notice that the temp is nearly always wrong, reads about 5 degrees too warm, and is extremely slow to respond to changing temperatures (extremely slow as in "20 minutes later it's STILL not reading anywhere near the correct temperature.")

I keep meaning to ask the dealer to look at it or replace the probe and it's never on my mind when I go in for a maintenance.

Yah, I have noticed the slowness with the screen when it is below freezing, but accepted it, as it didn't impact anything. I am still not sure what is going on with the temp display, I just find it curious that it flips when the temp outside is below ~29F. Go figure.
