Unexpected Message In The DIC

I went out for a drive this morning - the ambient temperature was 37 degrees F and there was a very light drizzle occurring, About a mile from home I happened to look at the DIC and I saw the message: "Ice Possible".

I have the base model LS - there is no traction control that I know of, nor does this model have ABS. Maybe the was a bit of wheel slip that I did not notice - I was moving very slowly. That, and the air temperature somewhat close to freezing, caused the DIC to display the message, maybe?

A very thoughtful safety reminder, in my opinion.

They all do that when conditions are right.
Cool feature here in the frozen tundra land.

It mean the temp is right for the possibility that the roads may have ice so be careful. Like the signs on the roads that tell you Bridges will freeze before the road does.

The message "Ice possible" pops up when outside temp goes to 37 degrees F or when you start the car and it is 37 or below. It was cool feature until novelty wore off now it is capt obivious message.

I've even seen it down here in Florida. We seldom see ice but the temps can get that low at times. Funny thing is the outside thermometer is so unpredictable, that message won't help much.
