The Safrane.Info Forum!

Hi!

I noticed a minor, but very strange problem with my phase1 safrane (rt trim level).
I got out of the car one time and saw that i left on the headlights. Opening the door again ther was no beeping.
Also around at that time i realised that the REPeat button on the voice
synthetiser is not working. (the button itself is working fine, i checked it, but still no repeating from the kind sounding french woman :D )

Does anyone have any ideas what could be faulty? What should i check?

EDIT: Sorry, I remembered the beeping sound from my previous (RN trim level) safrane. Safranes fitted with voice synthesiser don't have the beeper.
So there is only a problem now with the voice synthesisers repeat button, and that it doesn't warn me if I leave on the lights.

In every safrane I've seen it's always been an english male butler sounding voice so I'm curious how you got a french bird!

Can't comment on your problem I'm afraid as I'm a ph2 man however our resident SAFRANEV6RXE member is the one to ask - he's a ph1 man and has tons of experience with them. Notably his posting here has dropped since he got the vel satis

Anyway welcome aboard. We're not always this quiet, some weeks we can have new posts daily other times no-one posts for a couple of weeks.

Hi
Welcome to the forum,sorry for the late reply,now i know these units don,t really play up,not heard of any playing up,but i also know that if you get the buttons pushed in the wrong order it gets the hump!!
I think you have a choice of mute/beep/voice to warn you and i would change the order around,if you have the manual read that aswell i just can,t remember what order..

Thanks for the answers, guys!

I live in Hungary and I recently bought this phase1, which is originally french, this is why its speaking in french to me. :D

Back to the problem...
In the meantime I figured out, that the "beeper" in the lower trim level cars is a relay-like thing located under the fuse board.
My RT trim car didn't have one of those, because it should warn me by voice (i think..). I installed one, and its beeping nicely now.
Does your cars warn you when the ignition is OFF, lights are ON and you open the door?
Because I can't get mine to warn me, or to repeat what it said..

Thanks!

Yes. With the voice it will play a tune and then say "Warning headlights not switched off" - very loudly. Rather embarrassing when you're in a public car park
