Beep

[b4u2]

Has anyone ever experienced a beep sound come on after switching engine on after about 30 seconds? It happens in my car every time I turn on engine on and very annoying. Would love to know what it is and stop beep happening?

Have you read your Handbook ?

Could it be a seatbelt reminder?

Do you have a phone paired with the system?

My car emits various bings and bongs at start-up, can't say it irritates, so haven't bothered to investigate

[b4u2]

It's not seatbelt. 

No Bluetooth in car so can't be phone.

[b4u2]

Yes been through the whole owners manual and haven't come across this.

I take it there are no accompanying visual messages in the display?

Found something on the American board, power folding seats but up properly can cause this. 

This was a 4th gen RX so worth just having a fondle.

@NemesisUK

nothing at all on display

It could be one of tons of things to be honest. 

• Is it a long beep, short beep, multiple beeps etc?
• Is there a door open?
• Are you moving?
• Does it only happen once?

Low washer fluid, low oil, low water, handbrake on, door open when moving, boot open when moving, bonnet open when moving, key not detected (low battery), EV mode cancelling due to low traction Battery, etc etc etc etc

Perhaps you could video it next time it happens showing the dash and the nav screen and also so we can hear the beep

@Neo_gsf

thanks for your response.

short beep but very loud

no doors open

either still or moving, no difference

yes only happens once

Check all seats are in a proper upright position. Including the back ones. Make sure driver seat isn't on to big a decline. 

 

Make sure rear seats are safely in upright position also 

[b4u2]

@Arnett

They all are upright! 

[b4u2]

So I've just put my hear to front passenger seat leg area and that's where the beep sound is coming from but don't know what the course is and how to stop? 

[Neo_gsf]

If it's from that area, have you got memory seats and the "memory button" is being triggered perhaps?

 

[Neo_gsf]

Another mystery beep on an RX...

I am super proud of myself that was able to figure out what was the beep, it appears to be part of Bluetooth system that was not properly disconnected.

Was able to get my hands underneath the glove box and remove that mains with all wires attached to it and seems no more beeping!!!!!!!! yayayayay🙂🙂

[Neo_gsf]

Excellent stuff - so it wasn't the car at all in the end, but an aftermarket item 🙂
