Audible Warnings Description and Operation: Notes

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2019 Chevrolet Malibu. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The audible warnings alert the driver of a system concern or a critical vehicle condition. If equipped with an serial data communicating audio amplifier, the audio amplifier generates the audible warnings through the speakers. If not equipped with an audio amplifier, the radio generates the audible warnings through the speakers. The radio or audio amplifier receives audible warning requests via serial data. If the radio or audio amplifier receives multiple audible warning requests, the warning with the highest priority sounds first. Different audible warnings may sound with a different frequency or a different chime pattern, depending on the system or module making the request. The chime volume may be selectable through vehicle personalization.
