Hello everyone,

I just got a 2020 Niro Phev (pre-facelift), Irish spec. Apart from the welcome chime at startup, there are also six quick bongs at the same time as the chime. No error messages on the dash.

I googled, searched this forum and asked chatgpt but no luck.

Does anyone know what that means?

Thank you!

I feel silly. Perplexity finally found the answer. I need to fasten the seatbelt before pressing the start button. The bongs are seatbelt warning. Learning the first quirk of Niro haha. My previous car only beeped when I put it in drive without seatbelt. Never mind! :)
