Default What’s Beeping?

Enjoyed a couple of on-ramps today. Suddenly I heard 3 beeps come from the car. Happened twice. I couldn’t actually tell where they came from. I have speed warning turned off in the settings. Does it kick in automatically at some point?

Check the DIC for a message when you hear the chimes.

Only when cornering hard? Is your fuel low?

Let’s hope not since he was accelerating on an on-ramp.

So I get a beep sound when my knee hits the trunk opening button when on the track. If you are bracing for the corner with your foot on the dead pedal it's easy for your left knee to hit the button, which beeps. The trunk will not open at speed, but the button still beeps. Not sure if this is your 'beep', but it took me a while to figure out this beep that I get.

Did you buy the car used or new? If you bought used it may have a Curb Alert installed by the previous owner, it produces 3 beeps when it notes obstacles, some times on-ramps when they are slightly steep.

Literally was typing this. I bet it is.

You can adjust the sensor and re-aim it...
