When I start my MY2013 I quite often get two (warning?) bongs as it starts, however it does not do it all of the time. I though it might be a low temp ice warning, but even in the mild weather it does it. I can't work out what it means, or why it only does it sometimes (probably 50% of starts). No dash warning lights, no other obvious problems.

Any ideas?

You're not alone, I also get 'bongs' when I first start up but then sometimes I get no 'bongs' so I have ignored it for two years. Bong or not there are no warnings or otherwise, maybe not a warning but a self test bong associated with something

I dont get anything but mines a manual, maybe its an auto thing? Gear selector position?

I sometimes get bongs but only if I get in the car one the hour near the church clock. 3 x FL1 2 manual + 1 auto

Mine dos it now, but at least it has the good grace to let me know that it's my windscreen washer fluid getting low!

It bongs when the outside temp is low. MY13 HSE LUX Aintree Green

If its telling you you need to attend to something such as low washer fluid shouldnt the bongs be backed up by a message on the display too?

But the OP said theres no indications?

.... and my bottles always topped up

Not outside temp (has done it at 11C and -5C recently) and washer bottle is fairly full. I usually park on flat ground, so would expect it to always do it if it was the fluid level.

Still stumped at 2b or not 2b!

Having been a proud owner of an '09 FL HSE for whole week now, this issue has had me scratching my head too. I believe that it gives a warning on starting up if the outside temp is below 4 or 5Deg C (as it has been here for the last few days). The Ice warning symbol next to the temp display flashes for a few seconds before going back to steady. However it also gives 2 bongs at other times when driving and I cant match it up to any other warning display! 2009 Freelander 2 TD4 HSE Auto - Stornoway Grey - Hers (His, really)

My 07 gives a bong if its 4'c when I start up, also a second bong when the snowflake appears ..
