    From the day that I bought her, she emits a double beep (attached) every time travelling at a specific location on the daily route to my workplace. No particular sign there, non change in speed limit...The beep itself is not annoying, it's not knowing what it is that annoys me.
    Can anybody tell me what it is? thanks

    Another thing I'm curious about: why do trains always blow "Q" on their way through town here?

    That’s the correct signal for an “at grade junction”.

    a warning of a red light camera ahead or approaching a school zone? Mine will warn of a school zone ahead with a pop up on the screen but nothing auditable unless I've turned it off. No experience with a red light camera yet though.

    My car does the same thing, might be related. It is when cresting a little hill where the lane tracing camera can't see very far ahead and it gets grumpy--even if I'm not in lane keeping mode.

    I do see the lane bars blink when it happens.
