Three loud bongs from the dashboard while driving!

[Nick Nind]

Hi, I am a new owner of a 2020 Outlander Exceed edition, with low mileage and in excellent condition. A short time into a journey there are three loud bongs heard coming from the dashboard area, the type that makes me think i've triggered automatic breaking etc (i.e. very loud). There is no warning of any kind on the drivers display, not even a warning triangle. There are no cars or pedestrians around, we are generally 5 minutes into a journey and often it happens multiple times, we are travelling at around 25-30 mph and there are no cars in the blind spot.

The car is not fitted with Parking Sensors (but has a reversing camera!), does not have ACC, FCM nor LDW.

Can anyone help?

Hi Nick,

One thing that comes up from time to time, is 'curve warning' in the SATNAV system.

It makes a loud 'bong' and puts a tiny exclamation mark on the top of the map screen (IIRC)

Of course, if you don't have SATNAV, you can rule that out.

The other most common one is the seatbelt warning being triggered because there is something on one of the seats.
