Parked up outside the house the other day, took the keys out of the ignition and opened the door, to be greeted by three beeps from the car. Closed the door, opened it again and was greeted by the same beeps. After much faffing about looking for something left on, I discovered I had left the indicator stalk the in the down position, putting it back to center stopped the beeps.
This got me thinking, seeing as this car seems to have all manner of hidden procedures (lifting windscreen wipers, and launch control for example) were these some kind of coded beeps, or am I thinking into it too much, and this is just in fact a reminder I left my indicator on?

It indicates that you've left a parking light on. Depending whether you leave your indicator 'left' or 'right' will determine whether your nearside or offside light is left on. :happy2:

^^^I figured this out recently. About a year ago, the car started beeping at me but I had no idea what was going on. It didn't happen again until a couple of weeks ago when it did it again. Realised it was the indictor.
