Wrong ... it chimes hourly to alert you to the schedule emptying your wallet to pay for repairs

It was really put there to remind the senior citizens to shut off their directionals (hourly).

Does the last beep always coincide with the change. My 08 LCI does the 4 beeps then maybe 2 secs later the clock changes to the hour.
