Cold Weather Chime - MINI Cooper Forum

Hat · #1 (**permalink**) Oct 5th, 2006, 12:43 PM

To all new owners; that chime when you turn on the ignition when its really chilly outside is an ice warning. its chimes when the outside temperature is 3 degrees celcius or lower. This is in your owners manual.

Now can we please have a winter free of threads asking what that ding noise was.

Thank you

I wonder who will report the chime first? Thats a more interesting competition

yeah but dont forget to add.. if it keeps dinging then its not because its cold... its because you have a hole in your tyre

my GP makes a ding ding noise when i turn the ignition on

its not the cold weather warning as its not cold enough
