9N - Whats that beep?
9N - Whats that beep?
This could be a silly question but why does the car make a "beep" noise for about 3-4 seconds when I start my car?!
First I thought it was something to do with the seat-belts, but than it can't be 'cos I always have it on before I start my car and the same applies for my passenger.
Thanks

Normal You are one of the Lucky Few
This was an update to the software in the cluster.The cluster is testing the signal to the voltage control unit.And this is where you get these beeps.You will find if you switch all your consumers off and your battery is fully charged you should not hear this noise at times.

Thank you guys for all the suggestions, but it's not dispalying anything on the dashboard.
It's definately not from:
It's definately not from:
- Radio
- hand-brake on, I mean c'mon!
- low fluids or anything (mind you I'm just trusting the dashboard as I haven't checked it personally)

The seat belt warning is a convienience function, so unless its been programmed in, we don't have it. You should get a beep warning until you actually put the seatbelt on though.
If your quite sure its not anything mentioned on here or on the manual (I'm thinking service indicator, do you get any messages in the display as soon as you turn the ignition on?) it could be a faulty instrument cluster.
