Hello

Are the regular warning chimes performed by the front parking aid speaker?

Two days ago one of those chimes came out sounding raspy af. Thus I suspect I might need to replace that thing, and I am wondering if replacing the speaker hidden behind the instrument cluster is enough, or if I need to look for another one somewhere in the dashboard.
(I wish I remembered whether the raspy chime was from the parking aid or if it was actually the seat-belt reminder.)

Cheers

 

Hi Jaroslav,

if I was you, I would see whether the "raspy" sound was a one off, or whether it occurs more often. Both sounds you describe can be replicated, so you shoould not have a problem to see whether rhe raspiness persists.

I cannot tell you whether the parking aid and seatbelt alarm come from the same speaker, as I have disabled the seatbelt alarm years ago, so that only the warnng lighr comes on in my car when a seatbelt is not fastened.
The first place I would look is the electrical schemes.

Best regards,

Thomas
