    D2 chimes - can people shed some light?

    I've been preparing a D2 for Oz touring for a mate. In the last couple of weeks, the keys have lost sync overnight three times. Vehicle battery does not seem to be the culprit, and I have replaced the fob batteriesds with freshies. AMV did a reset of the fobs, and all seems well, but...

    Is there a reference anywhere that allows one to interpret the warning chimes before start up and for "lights on" warning, etc?

    ATM, I have 6 low freq chimes when I insert the key into the ignition, and it's something I've not heard before.

    A little obscure, but not anal, I hope...

    TIA

    Audible seatbelt warning for 6 seconds.

    It's set in the BCU, so its likely the setting has been changed from disabled when resyncing the fobs.

    The best I can do for you is to tell you what is written in the owners handbook for my 1999 D2. The caveat given is it depends on market specification as to which are appropriate to your vehicle

    Lights on reminder: if left on after starter switch turned off, a warning chime will sound when the drivers door is opened. Chime ceases when lights are turned off or door closes.

    Transfer box reminder: Warning will chime if transfer box is in neutral

    ABS warning: if a fault wth the ABS system is detected a warning will chime 3 times.

    ace warning: a single warning will chime if a fault with the ACE is detected, along with ACE warning light flashing red.

    starter key reminder: If the key is left in the starter switch while the drivers door is open, a warning will chime continuosly. Chime stops as soon as door is closed or key removed.

    seat belt reminder: some vehicles if the seat belt has not been fastened when the starter switch is turned on, a warning chime will sound [ one second frequency]. The chime operates in conjunction with the seat belt warning light, & sounds for 6 seconds, or until the belt is fastened.

    HDC warning: a warning will chime continuosly in conjunction with the HDC warning light flashing green, whenever HDC is selected, but the systems operating criteria have not been met. If a fault is detected in the HDC system, the chime will sound continuosly, with the amber warning light illuminated. Also in the book it says one way to know when the battery in the remote key needs replacing is a gradual deterioration in range & performance, and the alarm light in the instrument panel will flash rapidly for 10 seconds after the drivers door is opened. Best I can do , I'm afraid, Bob

    A bookshop is one of the only pieces of evidence we have that people are still thinking
