Please read your owners manual. Lots of great information there.

LMAO does it say what flavor!?

ummmm when it gets about 33 degrees outside or below you
will see where it says "ICY" and if the PSI light comes on that
means your tires maybe low on air pressure, check the manual
its the bible to your car!

At that temperature, water begins to turn into ice, so it's just a safety reminder. On BMWs, the warning starts up a little earlier at 38 degrees F, I believe.

ICY means It's Cool Yo!

Your car is just telling you life is cool. Enjoy it.

Just means its cold out, and psi is just a warning for your tire pressure. With the weather changing your tire pressure is going to fluctuate. Just check your tire pressure. These are basic things you should know already.

DIAMOND BAR!! Hello neighbor it's been getting cold as hell down in our area so it's nothing to worry about. Just start up your car and let it warm up a bit before you head off and check your tire pressure when it gets warm to see if you lost a huge amount of pressure.

I got the message at 37 on my '06 (First time I'd seen it this weekend and it threw me a bit, I wasn't expecting it.
