Possible icy conditions ... slow down

Are a lot of other people getting this message when they take a turn too fast or is this just me? I figure that a car that is meant to turn on a dime wouldn't put up this kind of warning message. I mean there is no ice in sight when I do this LOL.

is your setting on snow? could be the reason, make sure it's set to tarmac.

(not trying to insult your intelligence... it's easily pressed tho, my g/f hit it on accident the other day and i drove home on gravel)

As annoying as it is, it's a very good thing when the temperatures are fluctuating where you're driving around especially in the seasons where there's a short step between a nice road and possible ice on the road.

No, I have it set on tarmac, and the funny thing is it's 8-11 degrees Celsius outside. It's on a turn only when i'm taking the turn quickly, if i take the turn at a regular speed then it won't show up.

I also get it normally of course when it's cold outside and i'm just driving over a straight patch of road, but for some reason i'm getting it on quick turns. I thought this was something that happened to everyone. Maybe it's just me.

if you flip thru ur settings you'll see the little diagram it's probably because of the G's you're pulling on those turns.
