hi,i have a 2002 mini cooper with 92K on her.I just got her a few weeks ago with 90k..yellow w/blk top..great car...but the last few days when i leave for work in the morning,she will make a DING sound when i start driving down the road..like i left my seat belt off or a door is ajar..there are no light on in the dash or anything..does anyone know why the MINI is giving me just one ding?..tks,chris

 

There's a chime for temperature near the freezing point, to warn you that ice may be present on the road! That's the first thing that came to my mind! I was wondering the same thing when I got the car (december)!

 

yes!..thank you!..it has been below freezing here the last few weeks,i think thats what it is..wow,just when i think i have this sweet car sorted out,another surprise,tks again,chris

 

it will make that sound every time the outside temp is below 37 just as a warning not to do anything crazy... I wish it would ding every time a crappy driver was within 50 feet.

 

I'm trying to remember from when I had an '02, but I thought you could stop it from dinging, whilst it was dinging, by pressing the button on the turn signal stalk.

My '06 allows me to do this.

 

There's an entire thread on this site about "Things you didn't know about your MINI". I think it's over 40 pages at this point.

 

Not me. It'd be dinging non-stop....

C ya,
Dutch
