It's always a good idea to read your owner's manual....this is from my 2005 owner's manual........

ACTIVE HANDLING CALIBRATING: This message
will display and the active handling system light on the
instrument panel cluster will be on while the system
is calibrating after exceeding 19 mph (30 km/h) for
10 seconds. See Active Handling System Light on
page 3-39. The Active Handling System is not functional
yet. The Active Handling System performance is
affected until the next message ACTIVE HANDLING
READY is displayed. The Active Handling System is off
until the ACTIVE HANDLING READY message is
displayed. See Active Handling System on page 4-10
for more information.

The "Calibrating Active Handling" is a normal function and no cause for alarm.

Usually due to ambient changes. Tires do not grip as well in cold weather.
