Beep at +3 degrees

Recommended Posts

Just wondering,

tonight while I was dropping a friend off in auckland,

My E46 beeped twice and then little screen (where you switch through the OBC functions) flashed, + 3 Degrees

Is this a programmable function left by a previous owner or a warning ?

Cheers

Jordan

It's the ice warning, standard feature

Means the outside temp has dropped to +3C and thus there is danger of ice on the road

Standard warning feature, cannot be disactivated.

I'm guessing it doesn't get driven much in the cold then. ;)

Yup mine did this a week ago and was first time i had seen it. I also thought oh great what now but after a quick read of the manual it said it will show up and beep at 3deg if temp is dropping. Also at that point the heaters in the windshield washer nozzles and the heaters in the mirrors come on. All i can say is nice :D

I hear the new model sends you a text in the morning to remind you to stay in bed, roll over and go back to sleep
