It happens when there is a change in ambient tempature. You can still drive the car while it is re-calibrating, but you do not have active handling during calibration.
As per the OM:
ACTIVE HANDLING WARMING UP
This message may display when you first start
your vehicle during cold winter weather, and begin
to drive away, up to 6 mph (10 km/h). This is
normal. The Active Handling System performance
is affected until the next message ACTIVE
HANDLING READY is displayed in the DIC. See
Active Handling System on page 281 for more
information.
To acknowledge the message, press the RESET
button.
From page 281:
Active Handling System
The Active Handling System is a computer
controlled system that helps the driver maintain
directional control of the vehicle in difficult driving
conditions. This is accomplished by selectively
applying any one of the vehicle’s brakes.
When you first start your vehicle during cold winter
weather and begin to drive away, the message
ACTIVE HANDLING WARMING UP may be
displayed in the DIC. This is normal. You can
acknowledge this message by pressing the RESET
button. The Active Handling System performance is
affected until the message, ACTIVE HANDLING
READY, is displayed in the DIC.
The ACTIVE HANDLING CALIBRATING message
may be displayed in the DIC and the instrument
panel cluster light will be on after exceeding 18 mph
(30 km/h) for 10 seconds. The Active Handling
System is off until the ACTIVE HANDLING READY
message is displayed. This could take up to
15 minutes.
The ACTIVE HANDLING message will come on
when the system is operating. See DIC Warnings
and Messages on page 212 for more information.
You may also feel or hear the system working.
This is normal.
