Yeah, I think it goes more by the actual conditions than just temperature. Cause sometimes it is as low as 20 but it doesnt say it.

At 20, there is very little risk of new Ice on the Road...

It's more to give a heads up to the driver of when water would become Ice. Like when it's warm and still snowing. The snow melts on the road cause it's black and being driven on, but OH ****! -5 Deg and it's a Car Frenzy...

as soon as it hits 35 or 36 it says this. The dealer told me it has alot of messages, but thats the only one I've seen so far.

i noticed that this morning and in phoenix of all places but aparently it was 30~ this morning so holy **** ... wonder if it will snow ... also I noticed that the low coolant message came on 2 times this past week ... but only when it was uber cold in the morning and never during the day when I leave work to go home ... I looked at the coolant level and from what i could tell it was ok but may need to be topped off anyway ... anyone else see this message?

I get Ice Possible about once a day, Go Canada! Also, it seems the colder it gets the more often my emergency brake light pops on and off. I think the programming on this car has some bugs.

yeah.. it's off of temperatures rather than conditions. It's like an Al Roker in computer-form rather than fat-form.

Just Thursday I hit a patch of black ice here in Georgia and skidded without thinking to put my foot on the clutch. Car stalled, I pulled over and restarted the car. First thing on the DIC...."ICE POSSIBLE"

I couldn't help but to laugh at it.
