Today I drove my Cooper S countryman and found a triangle with a snow icon inside, what doe it mean? Not able to find this icon from user manual.

It means the outside temperature is below about 3c so there's a danger of ice.

Normally get a ping, as opposed to a pong, when it comes on initially too.

Mine goes 'bong' - is it faulty, dude?

You mean as opposed to a bing? could be.

In American English that's 37 degrees. Reminds you to watch for black ice and falling temperatures. Countryman makes a bloop-bong sound not a elevator bing like the supercharged earlier versions.

see page 48 of the 2011 cm owners manual or page 59 of the 2012 owners manual also under "ice" in the owners manual index
