Default back from dealer...oil change, and now I see ICY mode?

On the small gauge after getting an oil change from the dealer, I now see ICY mode? I tried to do a quick search and didn't find out how to turn it off. What is it for? I have never seen this before.

go easy

< newb lol

thanks

That is just telling you it is cold out. I think it goes on under 35* or so. Your car is fine.

+1 its just a warning about the temps, take it easy on the gas pedal so you don't go swinging the *** end all over the place.

I believe the exact number is 37 because i hit it occasionaly while driving and every time it gets to 37, the speedometer switches to the temp(37) and says icy.

As a fellow Chicago Z owner, I can vouche for the ICY indicator coming on at 37*.

Low near 55F right now in Santa Ana, CA.

Pic taken tonight. That Icy note is annoying.

The "ICY" display comes on when themps fall to 37F.
I don't think it's ever been below 37F in So Cal. Anyway to get rid of it?
