Default Active Handling Question

I just got my car back on the road after 2 months. I have driven it about 5 miles. When I start out, the DIC says "Active Handling Warming up" and the warning lights are lite up (the same lights that come on when you turn active handling and traction control off (competitive mode off too)

Why is this? t never did this before. I replaced the engine and clutch in the car. I have triple checked all my connections and I can not see anything that I might have missed. Any suggestions?

The car needs to calibrate its self in straight line. You must be turning lot when you first drive off.

I only see that pop up when I park in parking garage with lots of turns.

It will pop up every time unless you drive straight for minute.
