I get it but not with every start up. I just let it time itself out. It means the conditions are right for ice but 9 time out of 10 there is no ice.
You see, we are whats known as the Cadillac Elite who use this thing called common sense to figure things out on our own. That warning is there for the types of people who sue mcdonalds b/c the squeezed a scalding-hot cup of coffee between their legs and burned themselves, or filed the lawsuit which resulted in packages of peanuts on airlines having to have the label, "warning: contains nuts".TripleOught said:right, i know it's just a precaution, but it's like, dude...chill out. i know it's cold, i know there could be ice, now leave me alone.
We've only had a few mornings that cold so far here but if its anything like other cars I've driven, the "Ice Warning" message will come up every time you start when its below its mid-30's threashold.TripleOught said:when you guys are all saying at or around 35 degrees, do you mean any instance below that as well? this morning my temp gauge said it was like 25 ish and it still comes on. i don't really mind it THAT much, but every time i start the car from now until february i don't want to see an ice warning.
Yep, it's gonna pop up every time my friend, you'll get used to it and it will filter into the background just like the beeping noise when you first start the car.TripleOught said:when you guys are all saying at or around 35 degrees, do you mean any instance below that as well? this morning my temp gauge said it was like 25 ish and it still comes on. i don't really mind it THAT much, but every time i start the car from now until february i don't want to see an ice warning.
Yeah I think they set it to "enhanced" from the factory since the "more traditional" cadillac owners tend to be hard of hearing. I turned that on initially when I got my car, then changed it back about 5 minutes later. Most of the time I dont even notice the "bings" now.TripleOught said:thats weird, mine doesn't "bing" at all. i think i disabled it somehow, or mine doesn't have the noise with the warnings. my fuel light came on during a recent trip home from up north and i didn't get a bing.
the only thing i remember changing was going into the personal options and unchecking the box that said something like, "advanced warning noise" or "enhanced warning noise" or something like that towards the bottom of the list. now it doesn't annow me when i open my doors either. it was LOUD.
I left it on enhanced for a while but then trurned it off since I typically use the door controls to "time lock" my doors (it's quieter than the horn when i'm at home, but I like the loudness of the horn when i'm out) the 3 beep door lock is rather annoyingDDS rollin a CTS said:Yeah I think they set it to "enhanced" from the factory since the "more traditional" cadillac owners tend to be hard of hearing.
