Hazardous Driving Conditions

Anyone figured out how to turn off the annoying "hazardous driving conditions" messages? It came on no less that ten times last night on a one hour drive.

Are you connected to your phone for AA or ACP? This might be a warning coming from the phone and not the system itself.

But if you turn it off you will never know when hazardous conditions arise. /s

Yeah, Ford is looking our for us, right? Pretty sure when I'm on a snow/ice covered road, I know it is hazardous. If it only told me once I could live with it. The real hazard is taking my hand off the wheel and eyes off the road to clear the hazard message every time.

Thanks; don't use either. I checked the menus, could not find a way to turn it off; hope I just missed something or it will be a long winter.
