I finally had the chance to take the new car on a long run yesterday, both motorways driving and some country lanes. I thoroughly enjoyed the drive and find many of the cars features useful.


However, there are a lot of beeping noises coming from this car and sometimes I have no idea what it is telling me. While driving up the M1 the car started to emit a persistent beeping noise, a short single beep which was regularly repeated. This lasted for a few minutes and happened on three occasions. I was within the speed limit and in my lane and there was no message on the dashboard. Anyone know what that was trying to tell me?

My old Niro EV 4 beeps when it's doing 70 I have to drop to 69 on the speedo to shut it up
The new Niro has a tolerance option which I have set at +3mph, so the beeping does not start until I exceed 73mph. This makes it more tolerable and as I am a careful driver around town I doubt I will fall foul of any speed cameras by doing 33mph.

The most annoying 'unknown' bleeps I perceive are those associated with the approach to a speed camera if you are only a gnats whisker over the speed limit and similarly those when travelling through an average speed check area (which are about 40% of teh roads round here)

All the other bleeps and pings seem to be associated with some indication on the dash instruments.
Average speed cameras could have been the cause, as there are a lot of road works on the M1 with those in place. I will test the theory next time I drive that way.
