    I recently bought a 2016 Toyota Prius with all available features. Today is my 7th day using the car and I drive it regularly.

    However, since yesterday, I’ve noticed something strange.


    While driving, the car makes a “beep beep” sound twice and then it stops.

    The issue is:


    • No warning, message, or icon appears on the dashboard
    • The sound happens at random intervals
    • Sometimes it happens, sometimes it doesn’t
    • I can’t figure out the reason


    Has anyone experienced a similar issue?

    Do you know what could be causing this sound?

    Not sure but check your dongle (car key) battery. It is a CR2032.
