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

Rakey · Oct 5th, 2006, 11:45 AM

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

nylo · Oct 5th, 2006, 11:45 AM

I give it a fortnight

Washy · Oct 5th, 2006, 11:56 AM

You sure its not the seatbelt warning

It's the same on every car forum... every year.

Curry23 · Oct 5th, 2006, 12:34 PM

nearly time to explain it to the misses AGAIN

SoggyCornFlakes · Oct 5th, 2006, 12:46 PM

that reminds me ............ I'm not getting a ding !

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

ASTON · Oct 5th, 2006, 12:54 PM

its the sound of the car depreciating in value - each ding is another £10 gone

Mister · Oct 5th, 2006, 03:04 PM

It's only the beginning of October. Surely, no one will report the chime for at least another month, right? Although, it was a brisk 62 this morning driving into work. Brrrrr....
