Three beeps randomly sounding off means what?

[John Joynt]

My 2020 PHEV (with a bad digitizer) randomly emits three beeps and I cannot determine what it is trying to tell me.
Any ideas?

Sets of three beeps means key out of range.

However, you should see a warning message on the dashboard if that happens.

Something like a picture of a key and the words: "Key not detected"

If the battery in your keyfob is near replacement, or you have something else in your pocket blocking the signal, I can imagine that warning firing off randomly.

If your digitiser issue is effecting the dashboard, so you don't get any messages, you could try put the fob into the fob slot (in the centre of the dashboard, near the cigarette lighter) and see if that stops the warning tones.

If that works, it's time to replace the battery in the fob.

Mine (2023) used to go beep-beep-beep when I went more than 20km over the speed limit, drove me nuts for the first year until I figured how to turn it off. I did turn off a lot of the 'nanny' features. I really like the car but one thing I'd change is add is an information line on the display to explain warning noises.

Was that a warning from your SatNav system?

Mine displays the meaning of all warnings in the centre of the dash, behind the steering wheel, between the two main displays (energy flow and speed).

No, the system reads the speed signs at the side of the road and displays it on the screen and the HUD (I like it because I can always see what the current limit is instead of trying to remember, and some places don't have many signs or the speed changes often, I'm looking at you USA). If your speed is 20 over when it sees a sign, nanny wakes up and tells you off. It took me quit a while to figure that out as there wasn't any indication of why it was bitching at you, same thing with various other sounds, frankly it was distracting (when one should be driving).
