Default Active handling warming up????

Anyone have any idea if this is something I should worry about ?? I was trying to teach my fiance how to drive the car in a big parking lot and she did stall out a few times. Shortly after the car flashed a "active handling warming up" message on the DIC repeatedly. I figured I better get the car home before something happens and we switched seats and I drove it home. The message only lasted for about two min and then went back to competative driving mode and stayed there. This happen to anyone else ??? Also should I take it in for service or just wait and see if it does it again ??? Thanks guys


Chris

why were you driving in comp . mode ? ah needs to orient itself and self check on start up. its norm for it to do this once in awhile but not often. it was simply checking it self on restart. hey tell the old lady she broke it ya gotta get some miles out of that

No real reason, I drive in comp mode sometimes and when I happen to pull over the car was still in that mode. Then she stalled once and when she turned the car on I guess she was use to me putting the car in that mode so she just did it and I didn't wanna say anything else to confuse her lol she's still getting use to the 3 pedals

I've found if I start my car, and drive off without turning the steering wheel, I will get the 'Active handling warming up' message. If I turn the steering wheel a little, before moving, I don't get it.
