Yeah, it comes on around 40, and will go off when it goes above 42, I believe. The weird thing with the Beetle is how it was programmed. It ONLY goes off when it recognizes a change from 41 to 42. So if it was 35 in the morning, you shut the car off and it warms up, so the next time you start it, it comes on at 45, the snowflake will remain on. I've had two summers where mine remained on.

Also, I'm not sure what the temp, but it will go off after it gets so cold. Maybe single digits? I guess it figures at that point, if you don't realize the roads could have ice, a snowflake isn't going to help.
