Andy09 Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 Well, I picked up my new fiesta on Friday and it's sooooo lovely to drive compared to my Mk6. Had a nice journey on Sunday where I got to test the cruise control and it was perfect :D Even had a few people staring at it when I went to put some fuel in it :) Anyway, sometimes when I set off I get a sound played from the system - only way to describe it is 'Ding Dong'. It sounds like some sort of alert but nothing comes up on the screen (ie. saying a door's open or something like that). It doesn't happen everytime (I think, only driven it about 4 times). Can anyone shine any light on this one, before I go flicking through the manual. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy09 Posted May 25, 2009 Author Share Posted May 25, 2009 No, it's sounded before and I've heard it since putting a full tank in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonny87 Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 No, it's sounded before and I've heard it since putting a full tank in. Sorry I dont have my new Fiesta yet so i dont really know what I'm talking about, but could it be the boot sensor? Only saying because some people have had issues with those... :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bashful Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 Is it your phone connecting via bluetooth? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nipz Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 Is it your phone connecting via bluetooth? Doesnt make a sound does it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy09 Posted May 25, 2009 Author Share Posted May 25, 2009 Is it your phone connecting via bluetooth? Ooh I bet it could be! I'll test it tomorrow. The parking sensors have a different sound to them, so I don't think it's them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bashful Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 Doesnt make a sound does it? My phone does but not the car - was just having a guess. Maybe he's got the Avon lady in the back seat (or are you too young to get that ;) ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAR897 Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 I'm certainly too young but I can guess what happens. Are you sure it isn't just the in-car DBAA? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poohbear Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 I sometimes get the noise when my engine is still running and someone opens the door? Not sure its a "ding-dong" though!? I'm not sure....hope you get it sorted and glad you are having lots of fun in your car :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MichellefromEssex Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 yeah mine makes this sometimes when I take the seatbelt off before turning the engine off, it happens when the fuel light comes on, if a door is open, its more of a woo woo woo woo not a ding dong lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy09 Posted May 26, 2009 Author Share Posted May 26, 2009 Well, it didn't happen on this morning's journey. It's not the bluetooth. Though the seat belt in the rear passenger seats were done up, so I undid them...just incase it's causing it! We'll see what happens!

MichellefromEssex Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 I think it does it on any seatbelt that has been done up on the journey then undone before engine is switched off, only think this because Max undone his booster seatbelt and it happened, just as I was parking the car, told him off - he knows that the car has to be swtiched off before he can touch his belt.

Andy09 Posted May 26, 2009 Author Share Posted May 26, 2009 Argh, lol it's still happening. It only seems to be when I start my journey (within the first minute), not during (when I pull away). I'm still wondering if I have something left switched on that I don't realise yet, from when I picked it up at the dealers! It happened when I left thecar park this evening, then again when I pulled away from the barrier. This could drive me nuts lol :) Think I might have to break out the manual tomorrow!
