When turn on the engine you hear a slight chirp, after about 15-20 minutes of driving and after changing gear the harder you press the accelerator the more chirping the car makes, if slightly push on accelerator to let the car build its own speed no chirping chipping only happens the harder you make the car go faster.

We don't have a manual on this vehicle as the vehicle is not offered in the USA so I am not able to provide specifics but I would remove the serpentine belt and drive the vehicle to see if the noise is still there.

Here is a guide that will help identify the issue:

If the noise is not there with the belt off then I would replace it. If it is then we clearly have another issue.

Let us know what you find. Thanks
