MJIbex Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 Hi Ken, The batteries in the remote used to open the car are going flat, its an audiable warning. Change them and all will be good. Mark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forby4 Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 I get this now and then, usually when I open the doors and get in I hear nothing, but occasionally a beeping sound emanates from the dashboard until I turn the ignition key . I always thought it had something to do with the alarm activating and deactivating ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FridgeFreezer Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 It's in the manual and is exactly what Mark said, keyfob batteries going flat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will definately be a battery going flat - they will last quiet a while. If you have a 2001 Model Year onwards - no problem if it goes flat - just use the key to open and start; if you have a pre 2000 Model Year change it or when the battery goes flat in the fob you won't be able to get in without setting the alarm off or start it without entering the EKA - and that's a royal PTA. If the electric window switchs are around the handbrake surround it will be 2001 model year or later. If the electric window switch are in front of the gear lever it will be 2000 model year or earlier. Mark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gary1968 Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 Turned out the little metal battery cage in the key fob was broken on mine, 5 mins with a soldering iron and a new battery fixed it.... no more beeping. Gaz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emeye Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 haha. I was wondering what the hell this was - I thought it might be a cold weather warning as it doesn't always do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
