While driving, and not always at the same time, sometimes within the first 5 minutes, other times 10-15 minutes down the road, the car starts to chime then stops. No warnings, no signs on the display, I ran the "check system" and it reports everything is okay.

Does anyone no why this is happening? My wife thinks its the car telling me when the temparature is met according to the settings. Could there be any truth to this theory?
