Default active handling question....

Today the wife and I took a little ride in the vette. We stopped at a coffe shop to have some coffee and when we got back in the car something funny came up on the D.I.C. It said the active handling was warming up?? I've never seen this and have not read the whole manual yet. After a few minutes it said that the warm up was complete. Anyone have this happend to them? Explanations would be appreciated, or comments.

I get it sometimes also. I remember someone said it comes up when you make a quick series of turns within a few seconds of starting the car. I haven't been able to notice a consistent pattern though. I would guess the only implication is you don't have AH for the 30 seconds it takes to "warm up." :seeya

That's a far cry better than I get...."Active handling service required'..." Car has all of 20 miles on it, came from dealer like that!! Oh well...guess it's time to take it in for my 1st service...

Having that error showing up so early should of been caught by the dealer. Good luck and hope they get the car back to you soon. :eek:
