Hello, I have a problem with my car, when I give the turn signal, the sound is very weird, is not the normal sound and it seems like the soundbox may have problems. I'd be happy if anyone could help me. Thank you

Can you get a video of this issue? I suspect it is a turn signal switch issue. This is not uncommon when the switch gets dirt and contamination on the contacts in the switch.

So the normal repair is to just replace the switch.

Here is a guide that will help with this:

Unfortunately we don't have manual on this specific vehicle as it is not offered here in the USA but below is the info on a similar vehicle.

I would suggest replacing the switch and retesting but if you can get a video of this, that will help make sure we are understanding the issue properly.

Please let us know and we can go from there. Thanks
