That is the message that appeared on my display when i turned on the vette, then about a minute later or so (active handling ready) was displayed. Has this happened to anybody else and should i be worried about it? It has never happened before, that is the reason i'm asking.:huh:

I had it happen on my first drive after I changed my wheels and synced my TPMS.

Lots of information available in your owners manual. It is normal and will happen from time to time.

Friom the owners manual on Active Handling.

Active Handling System
The Active Handling System is a computer controlled
system that helps the driver maintain directional control
of the vehicle in difficult driving conditions. This is
accomplished by selectively applying any one of the
vehicle’s brakes.
When you first start your vehicle during cold winter
weather and begin to drive away, the message ACTIVE
HANDLING WARMING UP may be displayed in the
DIC. This is normal. You can acknowledge this message
by pressing the RESET button. The Active Handling
System performance is affected until the message,
ACTIVE HANDLING READY, is displayed in the DIC.
The ACTIVE HANDLING CALIBRATING message may
be displayed in the DIC and the instrument panel
cluster light will be on after exceeding 18 mph (30 km/h)
for 10 seconds. The Active Handling System is off
until the ACTIVE HANDLING READY message
is displayed. This could take up to 15 minutes.
The ACTIVE HANDLING message will come on when
the system is operating. See DIC Warnings and
Messages on page 3-55 for more information. You may
also feel or hear the system working. This is normal.
