Default Warming up complete????

Just heard a Beep in the car.... Looked down at the DIC and saw the message.."Warming up complete".....

What is this? Never saw this before. The car was on for about 3 minutes after running an errand to the time I was parking.
Anyone get this before???

I believe it is active handling... I wouldnt know since mine is a '97

I dont think it is a problem at all.

I agree No problem at all. Sometimes happens when you start up, and turn tires like in a prking lot. does not have anything to do with ambient temperature.

Nothing's really "warming up", that's just a colloquial term, probably used because "calibrating sensors for active handling" is too scary-technical for Joe Public.

You shouldn't see it often, but it's typical to see the message when you first start the car up and DON'T drive in a straight line, e.g. small parking lots. You have to drive the car relatively straight to let some sensors calibrate. Which sensors these are, I honestly don't know...probably the ones that count tire rotation or detect wheel spin.
