Default Active Handling Warming Up?

Got this message in the DIC today. Active Handling Warming Up?

I had driven the car about 8 miles. Went into a store for about 20 min and got the message and light when I came back out and started her up. Drove it to the gas station and filled up and restarted and the message was gone. everything normal. Took another short trip this evening and everything is fine.

Any ideas?

Probably should check to see if it threw any codes, but I'm to lazy to do it right now.

Thanks for your help.

Probably not a problem ... the system needs a period of time where you are driving straight ahead just after you start the car to "calibrate" itself. If you're making turns and changing speeds right after starting, you'll get the "WARMING UP" messsage. It just indicated the system has not been able to calibrate itself. Should be no codes.

If the message "SERVICE ACTIVE HANDLING" comes up, then you have a problem.

Check for DTC codes, but you should not have one for a "WARMING UP" message.

Read your owner manual - its Normal.

Thanks for the info. That was the first time I'd seen the message since I bought the car a year ago. Glad to hear that it's not a problem.
