About 8 months ago the car started making a musical beeping noise. It would happen only on occasion when make quicker turns or if another vehicle came by close and quickly.

It has gradually goes worse so that I experience it now on almost every turn or when ever another vehicle passes.

It makes a series of 8 musical beeps. The sound in pairs (two at a time) and repeat for a total of 8.

Now more recently on sometimes it flashes a red symbol very briefly that looks like the engine overheat sign (maybe). I can't really get a good look at it. I checked the coolant level and it IS OK.

What is the car trying to signal me?

Thank you for your help.

Andy:
That's a tough one to answer because the car is designed to signal you when any number of things are a concern. Since it happens when you turn, check to make sure the brake fluid is full, the oil is full. It seems like it is something that could be low, a fluid perhaps.

Did you ever figure out what the issue is? This is happening to me although I believe the beeping is whenever my car switches from electric to the gas or vice versa

To me, it sounds like the coolant in the radiator reservoir is low, can you check it please?
