Random beeping noise

[Copy_That]

Hi all, just bought an 03 Ibiza 1.2 S and its a fab car. Got a few niggles but I blame that more on the dealers not checking it than the car itself - good job I have some time off work to get it sorted under warranty...

Just a quick question; every so often I hear a random beeping noise, just a single beep - sounds a bit like the 'seatbelt sign' noise who get on airplanes. What does it mean? No warning lights come on that I can see and its got nearly a full tank of fuel. The previous owner didn't supply the manual and the internet doesn't seem to have the answer...

Cheers :-D

Could be the out side temp teling you its cold, it goes off at 4C I think.

Sounds like your low outside temp warning.Comes on your display at 4 degrees and below.With a little snow symbol.

what everyone said.

If your temp has a little snow symbol then it will be that, telling you they may be ice on the road.

Well! Would never have guessed I got a warning about outside temp!! Has been cold recently though. Will check the temp gauge next time it beeps at me - thanks guys!!

Makes the same beep when low on fuel too, which is annoying, everytime mine beeps for the ice warning, i think it means im low on fuel.

It is my mission in life to find these beepers and get rid of them!

"Yes i know its cold outside, how did i manage to get in the car?!?!" and "Yes I know its freezing, the ABS just avoided me from skidding into the ditch from that ice patch" come to mind

The radio's beep sounds most like the aircraft passenger attention ping, but the beep is probably just the ice warning. I think the petrol beep is slightly higher-pitched (and rather premature, mine goes off at the last 1/8 of a tank).

That said, sometimes the Ibiza's dash will beep at you for no apparent reason whatsoever.

The fuel warning beep is more like a..... OMG I NEED FUEL!!!!!.... kind of beeb, gives you a heart attack if your not prepared for it.

Im sure theyve turned the fuel 'beep' down from the mk3s, my old one used to give me a heart attack, but this one just makes me jump

I hate the temp beep it isnt necessary.
Took me long anough to adjust to the "AAAH what.?" beep you get when your low on fuel

Plus my indicator never cancels itself on my driveway as the corner is too light so i open the door and BEEP!

Im almost certain my low fuel beep is exactly the same as the ice warning one.

I almost **** a brick when i had the louder beep which meant i had left my indicator on the first time !

They changed the fuel beep on the later models, the earlier models' beep is horrendous.

My fuel beep and low tempreature beep is the same on my 58 plate Ibiza. All i do if i hear it, look for the fuel light, if it isnt on then i look at the temprature and see if it says 4.0oc

 

[pow]

Anyway of turning that jeff low temp warning beep off ?

 

[Vivid]

Quite sure you cant

 

[tkjeeves]

Yes i know it's cold outside, it's snowing!!!! AHHHHHH!!! lol
