Read the owners manual. "ICE POSSIBLE: This message displays when the outside air temperature is cold enough to create icy road conditions."

Maybe you just have a stupid HUD?

It's a spelling that saves GM thousands of dollars a year in printing costs. It's also a proper spelling of gauges. Here's an entry from my dictionary.

gage (g€j), n., v.t., gaged, gag·ing. (chiefly in technical use)
gauge.

I guess engineers spell better than you thought.

No, really, it was quite warm here in Chicago last winter. Really.

Maybe that explains why ours in Wisconsin say "Ice Possible" every month except August?

Shouldn't the DIC display "DEATH POSSIBLE" in this situation?

lol that brings back memories of when I was in New York. I remember I was having a bad day, that cold/dark weather always makes me gloomy. I was somewhat discontent with my sister and I turned on my car and it said, "Ice Possible." I immediately said, "What? **** you!" Had to explain to my sister I wasn't speaking to her and we both had a good laugh. Funny how the vett could turn a crappy situation into a funny one Hahahah I miss my sister now, she always calls my car "The Batmobile." haha and if she ever wants to go somewhere she says, "Can we take a ride in the space ship?"
