Ice possible...
I started the car yesterday and saw this message for the first time in the DIC and was amazed and shocked at the same time. Amazed that the DIC has such a message to warn us of hazardous possibilities on the road, but shocked that there may actually be ice on atlanta roads 
. Anyways, I just kinda smiled thinking of how awesome this car really is.

This car tells you everything. Messages like "ice possible" and "abs active" and "headlamps suggested" may seem a little silly, but there are some people who would be dead now if warning notices didn't clue them in on their surroundings. Nonetheless, very neat!

I have seen this several times. Most of the time NFW there could be ice except in my Sonic drink. What a worthless waste of engineering time and dollars. They should have spent it on interior upgrades.

It probably took the programmer less than a minute to write the code to access the temperature sensor and create the message.
It also probably required 30 hours of higher level committee meetings to make the decision before the programmer was told to do it.

I have a friend who picked up his 8 year old son at his ex-wife's for the weekend. He took his Vette because his son really gets a kick out of the car.
As he pulled up in front of his ex's apartment building, the DIC displayed "Ice Possible".
"No s***", said my friend
