BMW really should have tried harder to make their warning signs more intuitive. The combination of the world wide known symbol for "warning" (the triangle), and the obvious symbol to represent "cold weather" (the snowflake) clearly isn't obvious enough 
Get your act together BMW guys !!

37 degrees in South Florida this AM (wind chill = 28 degrees)
Hey you guys,
This AM turned the car on and drove off for about 2 minutes. I got a warning sign "triangle with a snowflake inside" do you know what is that??? I don't have my manual with me and thought that you folks up north got this message before...
Thanks.
