Hello all,

I am still learning about my FF, so I have a simple question (I hope!!)...

When the time gets to just before the hour (for example 09:59), the car gives 3 bongs and shows the time on the dashboard.

Is this normal?

Thanks.

Nick

Altering the system settings
Your vehicle is delivered with a basic setting for
all displays, which depend upon the country for
which the vehicle is intended.
These settings can be altered to suit your
preferences.
Press the MENU button on the control panel to
display the general menu screen.
•Turn the right rotary control until ‘Set’ is
highlighted.
•Press the right rotary control to obtain a list
of possible settings.
You can alter:
•The language of the display texts,
•The units of measurement for distance, fuel
consumption and temperature,
•The time and date
and the way these are expressed.
The following can also be changed by turning the
control further:
1. Memo
Shortly before the hour, three signal tones
will be emitted. If you have switched on this
function, you will see a soundwave symbol
at the bottom edge of the display screen,
after the day."

It's in case you want to listen to the news on the hour. John
