No lights appear on the dash, no fault codes are read by peake and there no noticeable drop in performance. Any ideas?
I guess I could have knocked the handbrake (i doubt it though), the temp was at 5.5, I do have my dash computer on blank – maybe thats why i didnt see a notification?
Some time back i got a similar noise when the check tyre system reported a fault.

Thanks in advance,
Kamlesh

2 things come to mind.

Do you have your speed alert set? I cannot recall if the OBC give a display or if it just chimes.

Do you have the Memo feature enabled? This is a multi chime that occurs at the top of the hour.

I can't think of any that don't also show on OBC...speed, temp, open door/trunk etc. all chime and show on OBC.

The two I can think of straight off are speed (limit) and outside temp, both of which show in the OBC quite clearly, for about 5 seconds.

Turns out to be the clock, chimes just before the top of each hour.

The clock is called the Memo function in the NAV. I usually have that function enabled on my car as it seems to help keep track of the hours!

it does it at 30 miles left on the tank too

Good to know about the 30 miles left in tank, I do not think I have ever run the fuel tank down that low yet!
