Outside temp is 37 deg or lower, possible icey roads due to water freezing...

(I've gotten the warning twice this week also)

Under or + 3 C

Every f**king morning now.

Twice I have had what looks like a snowflake with a triangle around it show up in the middle of the dash. It was only displayed for a second or two and then went away. Strange thing is both times it happened around the same point on the route I take to work. I looked in the manual and couldn't find anything. Does anyone know what this warning is?

Thanks...

The car is trying to tell you that you're soft and not driving it hard enough. C'MON NOW MAN. GET WITH IT!!! =P
