my car does the exact same thing and it's easily dumbest feature a modern car has ever had. It's Canada in January, of course ice is possible. The alert goes off at a random time up to 15 minutes into a journey. Since it's audible you think something really serious has happened and now focus is not on the road but trying to figure out which tire has punctured or if a connecting rod is protruding from the engine block. Then you remember the stupid ice warning and are reminded how much you hate the alert, meanwhile in your distracted state you have driven into the ditch.
Somewhere where it snows once every 3 years it might be helpful. When you live in a place with real winter it actually makes you less safe since your brain has to spend time processing the alert for a condition that's obvious since the entire horizon is covered in a blanket of snow.
