Concerned about what???

When I parked at the office this morning my climate control said it was 4* outside. The DIC had stopped displaying the stupid Ice Possible message.

If there is possible ice on the road sure. That message comes up when the temps drop to around freezing.

Also cold tires dont grip well so be careful of that.

Check engine light came on 3 weeks ago had it analyzed and code P0420 and code P0430 came up that means the passenger side cat and the driver side cat needed replacing. Went down to flowmaster muffler shop and the guy said both cats were burnt out. Had two bad cats replaced for $750 here in Dallas texas.

Just means that ambient temps are low enough to cause ice to form on the roads... basically a heads up.

Usually comes on for about 5 seconds, then disappears.

Haven't seen that in my 06, but that dosent mean it's not there. It does pop up periodically on my 09 Chevy truck when the temp drops below 32 I believe…. which is rare in SC. Stay warm everyone!!

As it's been said, it will come on at 36 degrees.

All it really means is that it's cold enough that your car won't melt.

Did you know that the HVAC in your car has a setting for HEAT too? No, it's not just for cooling.
