No idea if this is in the right place

On a Mk3 mondeo what does the snowflake light mean? Does it mean its very cold, Beware there could be ice sorta thing?

Yellow one comes on when outside temperature is about 3 degC and then the red snowflake comes on when the temperature drops to zero, to as you say warn of the danger of ice on the roads.

Yellow = below 5 deg C
Red = or below 0 deg C

as above , yellow comes on at 4 deg c and red comes on at 0 deg c , and boy was it cold today , took the car to work this morning with the red snowflake on , and came home with it on as well
