Beeping Beeps

[momo88]

So took the 'new' car out for a shopping trip amd parked up on a multi story car park.

As we circled the ramp that took us to the top we would get a beeping sound. I'm sure it was a double beep. I thought it may be something to do with the sat nav losing signal (if it actually ever does) but wasn't sure. It made the double beep twice and then once more as we left the car park.

Its a 2012 auto avensis tourer, had this happened to anyone else before?

Thanks!

A double beep is usually the car warning of a fixed speed camera close by

Hmm strange! We were in a multi story!

[Heidfirst]

yes. but was there a fixed speed camera in the neighbourhood?

It actually double beeps twice - once when you are several hundred metres away from it & then again when you are about 25 metres away. In an urban environment it is possible to get the first warning beeps even though your planned route doesn't go past the camera (e.g. turn off into other road before it).

Interesting! I may look out for them and purposely drive by to test it out haha!

Thanks for the quick reply guys!
