Strange Beeps / Unknown Dashboard Lights

[benkantor]

My Citroen Xsara 2001 is beeping every 30-60 mins or so for an unknown reason, 5-9 short beeps every time... Anyone knows what could trigger it?

 

And there's an orange kinda flashing dashboard light above the fuel meter which I don't have a clue what it means... It's on most of the time, dimming and turning off regularly.

 

If anyone's got a clue what those beeps / light means please reply, thanks.

totally no ides but ill have a guess, is it speed related? fuel level? some of the later cars have a speed setting so you cant go over that speed so say you set it for 50mph and you went over that a warning buzzer tells you

The beeps are to draw your attention to warning lights etc. One of my cars beeps if the handbrake is left slightly on. Our Xsara had a session of beeping and a warning light flashing telling of a water temperature fault. A change of sensor cured it. Use your handbook and find out which warning light is flashing.

Hey, I don't have the handbook, I'll take a picture of the warning light today and post it here, maybe you could tell me what it means.
