Nope. Ambient air temperature from the external sensor reading. Sounds a chime/bong when temperature drops below 4 celcius.
Interestingly, mine still does this despite disabling the seat belt warning light/sound, just like Stealth.

Oh Thats funny, I always thought I heard strange bongs out of the blue. I assumed them to be my DPF filter light/warning, which I had disabled when my DPF was removed.

There should be a flashing temperature reading on the dash to accompany the bong once the ambient temperature is below 4*C - it flashes three or four times and then stays solid.

This is designed so that a driver can set a speed warning if using winter or other tyres which have a lower speed rating than the maximum speed of the car. You should be able to disable this and alter speed threshold via your multifunction display (midline or highline both support this).

...........& me,now just get the flashing * then it goes to a fixed *. Not bothered as you still see it & i hate those warning bongs anyway.Done for the yank market.
LouCyffer:
IIRC the bong only sounds if the temperature drops through 4 celcius whilst driving. If the temperature on start up is sub 4 degrees, there will be no sound. It's designed to alert the driver to a dropping temperature, and not if the ambient temperature is already below that at start up.
So as long as the UK remains a suburb of Siberia, no one should be hearing temperature bongs for a while. -14 here last night. :surprised:
