Read his profile - he is in Dubai! 30 is Celsius! That is hot (in any country)

As to the message - I cannot understand why you got it. Normally it occurs in colder climates (I.e., where it is 30 degrees Fahrenheit).

You weren't in one of those Dubai garages with the AC turned up were you

Are you sure it wasn't the active handling warm-up complete message?
Active handling has a start-up protocol that requires no slippage in tires until it is complete. IF one of the tires slips ( wheel spin, turning a corner etc) the DIC
alerts gives an audio visual alert (Ding, and active handling warming-up message displays). Once the car has gone a few hundred feet ( the time it takes to do a more setailed self check if the warming -up alert is triggered, then a second message active handling warm-up complete is displayed.

It is referring to the active handling self check, calibration and warm up. Not engine, oil or coolant temps.
