new DIC message
I noticed a new DIC message on the vet that i've not seen before.
Message "active handling warming up" or somthin like that. It was on for a few seconds and then went off. So now, i is curious about this. Does anyone know what needs to warm up? It was a warm (90 degree) day. 
If known might there be any sounds associated with the warm up cycle.
Thanks

It is normal for your 02. The Active Handling needs to orient itself as to wheel position so it can function. It usually happens when you 1st start out and are going very slowly and your wheels aren't straight.

Thanks everyone. I had not seen this before and I figured it was normal or it would say something else. I had driven the car for about 1 1/2 hours out to play golf (in the rain), so the car sat for about 5 hours. Because of the parking situation I did pull up on the grass a bit in order to give extra room to passenger side (next car), but no one pulled up.

Nothing to worry about. This should be mentioned in your owner's manual.
