2023 Lighting XLT
About every 1 in 10 times that I get in the lightning I get this chime sound about 300 feet down the road. Any idea what that might be?

Any message on the displays? Perhaps record the chime so we can listen... This truck has chimes and bells and dings for everything. It honestly could be so many different things that it's hard to say.

I'm in a similar boat too. I've had a symbol pop up on my dash screen and I have no clue what it is. It's showed up twice now, sized the same and in the same section as all the little warning symbols like check engine, etc... But it's not anywhere in the owners manual, nor can I seem to find it online anywhere as to what it could be. I don't even know how to describe it. Happened once early on and never could find what it was. Happened again this weekend and it disappeared before I could get a picture. I've had the truck for over a year. I might try to draw it from memory to see if anyone recognizes...

I had this chime thing happen to, and figured out it was the navigation map alerts. I had to tell the map not to alert me to nearby attractions, gas stations, ect... Then it stopped. It does this even if you are not navigating to a destination.

Go into the Ford NAV settings, there is a configuration group for types of road hazards and other categories of navigation aids that cause these dingalings

You might have gotten the update for the chime when everything is working as expected.

It sounds just like the regular chime so you know things are ok.

Mine used to do that. I read something about the light settings causing it as if the truck thought it was on instead of Auto. Mine actually seems to have went away so itโ€™s probably an update thatโ€™s caused its.

Even if you aren't using the navigation at the time? I get the same random chime also and could never figure out what it wants to alert me to

Yes, you do not need to have an active destination for guidance, I'll get alerts for school zones, curves in the road, etc.

I got chimes at seemingly random times, realized it was new email notifications when my phone was connected via AA. Turned that off on my phone and and the chimes went away.
