Audio warnings?
Hi all,
Finally started driving the C7 this weekend.
As I was driving through a small village with a few stop signs, listening to music, there was a drop in volume.
Naturally I glanced at the radio thinking a call was coming in.
Nothing out of the ordinary on the screen.
Then came an audio message from the car but I just could not make it out.
I saw that "maybe" something had briefly displayed on the DIC but if there was it didn't stay long enough.
So, I'm wondering, what circumstances triggers audio messages?
Some clarifications: I was not using NAV (so no directions prompt)
I did not receive a text message or voicemail (and those notifications are turned off).
I was driving next to a park with a baseball field, no school zones. (some GPS will warn you of school zones)
It's a mystery!

Yep, that's my bet too. I get them periodically for accidents and road construction warnings. They come as a surprise and I've never been quick enough to see anything display on the DIC either. Nothing shows in the HUD when I hear them.
