I'll bet the temp was around the freeze point....

 

That would be ye olde black ice warning....

It does it at 37 degrees F. It is to make you aware of potentially icy conditions.

Maybe someone should tell them that water freezes at 32f 0c and..oh.. 273.15 Kelvin.

 

thanks that is what i was thinking. it happened the last time at 2.5 degrees C

Mine never beeps...never will.

I'm really surprised your dealer didn't know what the heck was going on.

Happy Motoring!

Really???

 

Actually, it's more of a warning for bridges, which freeze sooner than roadways...my '89 BMW does the same at 36 degrees...

Keep an eye out for that black ice...

 

This is a feature on the BMW too. When the outside temp dips below 37 degrees it beeps to alert you that ice could soon be forming. Your dealer is an idiot if he didn't know that!

 

And Keb...welcome to MCO!

 

THANK YOU! I was wondering what that little <ding> was as well. This must also be the reason why the temp flashes when you cycle through the computer menu.

Now I know, and knowing is half the battle.

Yep, my '89 325iX did it at 36 Farenheit as well. Just a little reminder to be alert to bridges.

 

I wonder....does the Aztek have a black ice warning system? :???: :???:

If it does, it should be removed so that the car is put in more possible situations that could total it.

Also, if you didn't know it, you can change your temp display from 'c to 'f, just in case you are this side (USA) of the pond.

Cool...... how?

Perhaps that tone and flashing temperature has some correlation to the 8 inches of surprise snow I just drove home from work in....

 

*|?*?6twonder....does the Aztek have a black ice warning system? :smile:

 

... you seem to know way more about Aztecs than any human should ...

 

... so is your tent big enough to give comfort and shelter to me and my mini?

 

>> ... you seem to know way more about Aztecs than any human should ...

I think Lmini is a closet Aztek freak......

CLOSET Aztek freak!? Come on now...everyone knows how I feel about the 'Teks. I plan to start auto-xing them within the next year. Or high speed drag racing.....you know that tent would make a great parachute.
