I've lately started getting a mystery double chime from my 2022 Mach e shortly after startup. It doesn't happen every time. I don't see any messages on the displays. Having trouble figuring out what it could be.

Not the seatbelt warning if you’re a little slow putting that on?

Check your headlight switch. On occasion it will strangely move to the on position. Just a thought, it has happened to us.

That is the other annoying beep that we get. I'm sure it's a software bug because we never move it off automatic.

If it's a double chime that repeats 3 times then its probably pressing Start without seat belt on. Seat belt icon will flash.

Re: “headlight switch strangely moving to ON position”. Check your entry and exit from the car. I’ll be one of your knees is brushing the switch and moving it from one setting to another.
In my opinion, that wheel switch is on the wrong place.

I thought that might be the case, but it doesn't look like my knees are that far forward.

I've had this chime problem a couple of times. It's always turned out to be the headlight switch no longer being on Automatic. It usually happens after my husband has been driving my car. Somehow he seems to bump it and it moves.

I am also getting the mysterious double chime. I turned off predictive navigation and my lights are on automatic. This just started about two weeks ago and I cannot say it is consistent.

Someone is not bumping the headlight switch. It will go to the on position due to an electrical glitch. Weird, but true.

If you’re still getting it, turn off traffic alerts.
