Possible Icy Roads warning on the LCD

So got this warning while driving to work this morning. Showed some kind of funky graphic as well. Im sure its set to go off if it senses a certain temp outside which was 37 at the time. Kind of a cool feature I guess lol...

Anyone else receive this message before??

Yep....I own 2 Mitsubishis (Ralliart & Outlander Sport) and they both have that warning come on and yes it will always come on at 37 degrees.

lol. this is normal. its an effect of cold weather. water can freeze to ice when ambient temperature gets to 0 C or 32 F.

When this comes up I always tell my passenger(s) that I have encountered a fatal error in my engine and you will have to roll out the car soon to save your lives.

Its actually quite annoying if you live in Canada, where it is below 3 degrees Celsius all the time. Its -20 outside so yes I know the roads might be slippery

Disabling TPMS isn't too difficult if you have the right equipment:

It is there to warn you driving save. It does the job.
I think the message should annoy every single Lancer driver for 24 hrs. Most of them are driving fast but dangerous and no skill at all especially those basic Lancer driver who think they can be faster than a Ralliart or EVO.

Nope.

It's a warning for those that don't have skin.
