I've posted in the past about random "dongs" and "dings" from the dash that do not ordinate with anything while driving. I've often thought they could be the following:
1. One sound does sound like a "single dong" of the keys left in the ignition while off sound.
2. Does the car have a warning for the external ambient temperature of 32F? (when the snow flake shows up). Because our temp sensor doesn't work accurately one day a week. If the electronics could be off giving odd readings it could also be firing the warning sound. I believe a 323ci BMW I had made a sound.
3. Is there a speed dong? I've had cars where you could set a warning at say 70mph to tell you that your going simply to fast.
I'm curious if items #2 or #3 have any validity since I"m very curious about these anomolies. THey don't happen as often as they used too...but it's odd. For example I've been driving the wives 2001 V70 T5 (140K miles) all week. Didn't hear any sounds the first couple days, then a few ding/dongs the next and several times today...and the external ambient temp says it's 35F even knowing we are in the 70s here in Ohio.
Just curious...
does the P2 have a "dong" for freezing temp warning?
