Car Forum / BMW Cars / November 2006Sound signal
Sometimes I can hear a short sound signal in my car. This usually happens soon after I start the engine. Once it happened about 1 minute after I switched on the headlights while driving. What can this be? > Sometimes I can hear a short sound signal in my car. This usually happens > soon after I start the engine.

This is the warning message telling you to open your owners manual and read it... it sometimes seems to coincide with the temperature nearing freezing for some reason. Go figure eh? Sorry, but I found nothing about it in the manual. But you may be right - the temperature has been nearing freezing for several days. Thanx > > Sometimes I can hear a short sound signal in my car.

On mine, if you've got the external temperature selected on the OBC, this flashes to coincide with the 'bong', to warn of possibly icy roads.

Actually, on ours it bongs regardless of what has been selected or not.

Well yes. I didn't imply it didn't. ;-) That's only logical anyway since it's a warning.

The annoying thing is that the OBC displays on mine ('99 & '03) also switch to temperature (which then flashes) and have to be manually switched back.
