Car beeps three times ever few miles

Lifted07Duramax · 02-06-2013, 11:14 AM

Anyone have an idea why the car gives off three beeps every 5-10 miles?
I do have auto clear turned on on the JB4 but I don't know if its that. I don't see a CEL come on or any lights.
Car just beeps 3 times and that's it.

The horn is beeping?

Dashboard? Are you approaching red line? Low on gas? Seatbelt?

Lifted07Duramax · 02-06-2013, 01:57 PM

It's a beep like if there was ice not horn. Not low gas not the seatbelt type beeping either

Lifted07Duramax · 02-06-2013, 07:19 PM

The beep you hear at the beginning of this video is the kind of beep Im hearing. I dont know what his beep is coming from but the reason Im posting this video is so you guys know the beep Im hearing.
Yet mine beeps 3 times

It could be some type of speed limit warning that was accidentally set. fiancee's RR has this option.... a few years ago when it was in for service, the techs thought it would be funny to set it at 30mph. The car chimed every time we went above/below 30mph.

Not sure if our cars have this option, however...

hmm now this could be it, this would explain why it happens sometimes sooner than later and sometimes not at all.
I get it back from the auto body shop tomorrow. Ill see if this is the case.

If it is, how do I turn it off?

And guys keep the guesses coming please, its defintely annoying

Is it at 120km/hr? If so you need to disable it via coding. I was playing around in my insturment cluster and found a option for it

Probably a bomb...I would call bomb squad if I were you

Lifted07Duramax · 02-06-2013, 11:06 PM

Is it possible that its beeping when I get an email or text message? My iphone is plugged into the USB so who knows what its capable of?

manutdas11 · 02-06-2013, 11:24 PM

If it beeps three times, it wants to race.
