    I noticed they last few times I started the car and put it in gear that I get one or two short toots from the horn.
    Anyone else getting this?? After I start The Car and put it in gear It beeps a little beep or 2 , Also sometimes when i shut of the car It beeps a little beep, .
    I did have the 5000 miles check up at a goodyear dealer. He changes the oil and did the tires. we could not figure out how to turn the maint light off. I am out of town and can't get to my dealer right now. The beeps started a day or two after the service.
    Thanks

    Not sure about the beeps, but to turn off the maintenance light, press and hold the ODO button when you power up. You'll see bars progress across the odometer display to let you know that the maintenance light is being reset.

    It's normal to hear the beep when the maintenance light is coming on at start up. It'll stop once you do the reset.
