what is this?

petrol isnt showing empty.

only had this car a while so dont know if a light should come on when petrol is near empty.

im presuming the beep/chime is petrol level but not sure.

Also this car seems to be using quite a lot of petrol, more than normal at least, goin by the gauge. but im thinking i could have a petrol leak or maybe the gauge isnt working properly....

havent had long enough or driven for long enough to test it fully....

yes there is a fuel reserve light :D

i pressume you have a 13 button obc, becuase this will be what is making the audible chime, it bings when the temp is lower than a certain temp (3oc i think)


not sure if it makes a noise when the range gets low, i havn't yet fitted my obc

it also bongs if you set the speed limit function so when you hit a certain speed it lets you know by flashing the speed on the obc.
also sounds when the outside temp is 3 degrees or so

6 button OBC has a gong too, it gongs for the temp, and also for a 10 second reminder for hourly news broadcasts, when the memo button is pressed.
