What is that beeping noise?

Asked by LB Jan 28, 2010 at 12:10 PM about the 1997 Subaru Legacy L Sedan AWD

Question type: General

I have a beeping noise that goes off a couple times on my 30 minute drive to work,  It shows nothing on the dash that indicates there is something wrong.  My seatbelt is always on, I dont think it is that.  Any ideas.  Cant find anything in the handbook.  Thanks

It is not a warning sound beacuse you have frosty conditions then ? I think that between -4 and +4 centigrade (whatever that is in fahrenheit) the car-computer will warn for frosty conditions ?! Maybe with a beep as well (i only have a blinking appearance of the temperauter though) /K

Dunno. My 2018 does that - same exact spot on a freeway on-ramp, almost every day. Cannot figure it out.

It is likely that you have a bag or other object on the front passenger seat that is triggering a beeping alarm that the seatbelt needs to be fastened. Take the bag or other objects off and put them on the floor in the beeping should stop.

It beeps every two minutes and no one is in the car. I can hear it outside the garage. Why is it doing it?

I am having the same issue, looks like it's coming from the radio. The channels "flash" every time there is a beep..... It's also difficult to change the channel when it's happening. Not sure what the answer is though.
