General Beeping noise

[Mojo31uk]

Hiya all,quick question,does anybody else’s Fiat 500x make a beeping noise when they go round roundabouts,my car beeps when I go round a certain roundabout but nothing comes up on the dash board panel and it’s a mystery why it does it ??????
Any info would be good just so I can stop thinking about it

You said "certain" roundabout

That suggests to me that your Sat Nav speed camera, safety camera setup is triggering?

Yes mine does it as well, come to the conclusion that the sensors that detect an overtaking car are triggered by undergrowth and bushes on the roundabout. It is always the same local roundabout that happens with. If you indicate your movement through the roundabout it most likely won't happen.

I tried it today when no other car was on the roundabout,I went all the way round it and I kept a good distance from the roundabout and it still beeped twice,god knows what it is

May but it doesn’t happen on any other roundabout but this one I always go round

Are you indicating or something as you go round? (front end sliding )

The nissans beeps sometimes at roundabouts if you indicate and there are cars beside you turning off too, it's wrongly asuming you are changing lane rather than turning off.

No I’m just going round the roundabout and 2 beep sounds happen in my car as I go round a certain roundabout,it’s weird and can’t figure out why the car does it

It could be the proximity sensor, if the roundabout is small/enclosed by bushes or has chevron boards next to the curb, etc. but you need to be within a few feet of the obstacle to activate the alarm. I drove a Mercedes once which kep getting frightened by one particular bend (chevrons) even though it was 20 yards away. You can test it by disabling the park assist (button by the lower USB ports, ahead of the gear lever).

Other alarms, like low fuel, low brake fluid, or low engine oil ((if the liquid in queston sloshes to one side and makes the sensor think you're running out) would leave a warning on the dash for a few seconds... so I don't think it's this.

It may also be something weird like a heavy bag on the seat... the extra cornering force might fool the car into thinking someone is in the seat/not wearing a seat belt. If you have anything on the seats (even a child seat) then that could be possible.... althouh you can eliminate it by doing up all the seat-belts, even if nothing is on the seats.

If you're careful not to crash the car, it'd be interesting to have a passenger with you, to watch the dashboard for any error messages that you might not see behind the steering wheel spokes before they disappear.

I’ve had passenger in front when it’s happened and I’ve kept away from roundabout to see if I was to close and still went off
