preach on - every beep or bing i look around because i think i am going to hit something or someone is about to hit me.

i do wish there was a way to disable - but its only a nuisance i have to deal with a few months out of the year.

After I finish shovelling the driveway, clearing the snow off the car and salting the walk - Roads May Be Icy - no kidding. Maybe this would be useful for a climate that only occasionally has freezing weather.

It does not annoy but it startles as it sounds like a malfunction more than an alert.

It makes you check the console and get your eyes off the road.

It is a distraction!

It's a bit of a distraction especially when it has been continuously below freezing for days and you already know, but I like the idea that if driving from one city to the next or was driving for a long time, there's a notification that conditions could be slippery.

I'm really amazed that in all these years I have not had an accident due to icy conditions without the car telling that's it 37 degrees outside. Just lucky I guess.

Default roads may be icy warning

Is there any way to turn off the Roads May Be Icy warning? It beeps every time I drive in cold temps, even with sunny, dry roads. I KNOW the roads may be icy. I hope there is a way to turn off this annoying warning.
