HAHAHAHA I dealt with it all last winter and it has started telling me again this winter. Its a safety feature built in that you would have to reprogram the computer to make it stop. Atleast it only dings on for 2 seconds and goes away, I kind of like it..... because it makes me take a look at the temp to check if its 32 or below. Then I know there could be black ice and I drive alittle more careful.

For the next 5-6 months here in Calgary, it WILL be below freezing every day...I really don't need this annoying "feature" letting me know. I can feel it as soon as I step outside, thanks. Between the low temp announcement and the "TPMS service required" warning(winter wheels installed), I would almost like the info system disabled altogether.

I really like this feature, I travel a lot from Miami, FL to NC. My last refuel is usually somewere in GA, so the temperatures there might be around 60, driving non stop to NC some times you fail to notice that the temperature will drop about 30 degrees.

I'm waiting for the sensor to warn me when there is a car coming towards me in the other direction and that I shouldn't hit it.
+1 that this is an annoying sensor that goes off every day here in VT!
