hey what's the story behind the outside air temperature gauge (on the tach if you have the computer) blinking and beeping at me when the mercury hits 37 degrees f?

is the mini saying it needs a sweater? i think it runs better the colder it gets (although i live in florida so sub 37 degree days are few) so is it saying that it wants me to know its ready to zoom since it is so cold?

... that's the 'Black Ice' warning ... just to let you know to watch out on overpasses and other areas prone to freezing ...
