I don't think it's abnormal and have heard other Forum guys with the same experience.
Maybe someone will chime in with what technically is going on as it is in the "warm-up" state.

Ok I used to know what caused this, but I am a little foggy on it so please feel free to chime in. I believe if you start driving in a turn the active handling needs you to go straight for a certain number of feet, so it will flash this warning until you have complied with its parameters.

It happens whenever you first start driving and are making a lot of turns in the same direction, for example in a parking ramp. It is normal and goes away after you drive for a few minutes in a straight line.

Happened to me just last week. Like you, I was not only surprised to see the message, but I had no idea what it ment. Thanks to the forum members for the info.

I had read on here that it sometimes comes on when you go very slow for an extended time. It has happened to me twice and both times was when I was driving thru a park going around 10 mph or so. In just a few minutes I heard the chimes going off and it said warmup complete.

I see it occasionally. Sometimes after the car has been warmed up already and it was shut down for just a few minutes which makes me believe it has to recalibrate itself. As mentioned above after a few turns then it comes on when the car is going straight. Maybe it should say "active handling recalibrating"
