Absence of "ICE DETECTED MESSAGE"

As in the BEA report is stated 'uneventfull' before 0210:05'
and then suddenly Pitot Probes clogged due to ice.

I'm wondering why the ice detection system didn't trigger an ICE DETECTED (0,5 mm ice aggretion within 60 sec.) WARNING MESSAGE?

Can accept that within the timeframe a SEVERE ICE DETECTED (7 times 60 sec.) is never shown.
I can also imagine that the visual ICE Indicator between the windshields is not in direct view during all the mess,
but the ICE DETECTED message should have been there!
