Can anyone help me understand what my IX is telling me?

Dr Domino · 03-23-2024, 08:52 AM

I'm about to pass the 10,000 mile mark on my '24 IX M60. Absolutely trouble free. I use the driving assistance feature all the time, and I really like the way it works. However, I frequently hear my vehicle generate something that sounds like a piano chord followed by two short beeps. I have yet to find any explanation for that sound. I don't see any messages in the HUD or on the display panels. Seems to happen with no regard for the speed or traffic conditions. Any idea what my car is telling me?

Could it be the warning to put your hands back on the wheel at lower speeds for the driving assistance?

Notification alert?

That's not it. Doesn't matter if my hands are on the wheel or not. Doesn't matter if I'm in town at 45 mph or on the highway at 80 mph.

Does it happen when you exceed the speed limit?

Could it be the 3C/37.5F warning?

The OP did mention that there were no message in the instrument cluster, control display, and HUD. The 37F warning is accompanied by a message in the instrument cluster.

You’re supposed to buy a piano and 2 more iXes.

No, the speed limit doesn't seem to matter. I usually hear it when I'm in traffic, but sometimes it happens when no other vehicles are near.
