Does it happen all the time?
I've heard several people say that is normal when it happens occasionally, particularly if after you pull a slow, tight turn. It does it to me sometimes.

I get it often...
Basically when you drive the first 50 feet after startup and have the wheel turned...
it will set the D.I.C message you are seeing.
I believe its normal or so I've been told by quite well respected Techs.
I say don't worry about it.

The computer system is probably just doing some gonkulations to make sure it can read all of the sensors properly. I get the same message from time to time too.

I get this message, too, from time to time. When I get it, it happens right after start-up, if I hit a patch of ice or something in the parking lot and causes one of the wheels to spin a bit. It goes out almost immediately with the "Warm Up Completed" message, so I've always thought it was normal, and never given it a second thought.  -Patrick | |

I had the same message, ended up being the wheel sensors, not the tire pressure sensors but a wheel sensor. Ask your dealer about it.

HI there,
Active handling warming up is a normal message, as the computer is looking for the centered reading from the steering wheel position sensor.
Service active handling is something different and should not be confused.
Allthebest, c4c5
