Active Handleing question
Need some advice please
Senario:
Start up vehicle drive for a while and shut off
Restart vehicle after 5mins?? warning chime goes on, icon is on and display in dash is stating that the "active handleing is warming up"
After less than a minute there is a single chime, icon goes out and a message states that the active handleing is ready.
This only seems to happen on the second startup of the day and has only happened in the last two days.
As this has never happened to me before I was wondering if I should be concerned or not.
Thank you in advance for anyones help and hope to be hearing from someone soon.
Regards
Tom

Everytime the engine is turned off the Active Handling system has to recalibrate itself. This usually takes driving in a straight line for a 100 feet or so at about 6 or 7 mph. This allows the system to determine where straight ahead is located. If you do not do that but instead start moving the car in a turn the Warm Up message can appear.

As long as you get the "warmed up" message within a fewminutes, this is completely normal behavior and nothing to worry
about.

I swear these cars are like women, they sometimes just get overreactive for no reason. My car does the same thing every blue moon, but usually it is just start and go. That and every once in a while I will sit their holding the AH/TC button to put it in "Competitive Driving" mode and it just won't go on the first button push... Like I did something wrong I don't remember.
