Audible announcement "attention"

Post by B3nnl » Tue Jul 12, 2016 10:12 pm

Why?! 
I've mentioned in another thread how the Head unit display is U/S so we can't read any messages.
Can anyone tell me what the audible "attention" we are hearing is with reference to?

I do know when we collected the car we were low on fuel and the closer we got to empty, the more the voice would tell us to pay attention, but its now got over a 1/4 tank and shes still telling us randomly!

My mother swears its hidden cameras which I find very dubious as none of our other cars or Nav units have ever warned us about, besides there being nothing actually in the areas, but anyone have any ideas?
Thanks

Do you hear the noise without your mother in the car, I had a dreadful whine coming from the passenger seat and it turned out to be the wife.
