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.

HEY! It's telling you it's close to freezing temperatures outside so be careful!

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.

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?
