This morning while driving about town I got some strange beeping noises. It happened a few times at about 30-40 mph. After a couple of times I realised it was always one long beep followed by two short beeps. No new lights show on the dash. Can't seem to find any specific beep code references for this. Anyone had this?

No I don’t. I do have a slightly damaged rear parking sensor but had it a while and hasn’t been a problem so far as all works fine when reversing.

If you have a fault on a rear parking sensor, instead of a single short beep when you put it in reverse, you get 1 long and 2 short beeps from the parking sensor sounder behind the dashboard, just below the panel of switches to the right of the steering wheel.

Thanks for the info jtonline. That would seem logical then. However I get a normal beep when reversing. The sequence only happens going forward at about 30 mph. In for service next week so will get the dealer to sort it. Will post the result.
