Strange beeping when turning the car on?

[excalibur1491]

Hi,

I tested a Ford Fiesta Zetec (Mk6) the other day and I made my deposit to buy it (finally!) so hopefully I'll have it soon.
Anyway, last time when I tested it, the car made a weird sound when I putted the key in position II. There were like 5 beeps (1 each second or so, not too fast, not too slow) while all warning lights were on, then the lights turned off correctly and the beeping started. Only the engine light remained until I turned off the engine.
I asked the dealership guy what was that beeping, he obviously said it was normal... but you never know...
Any one knows? I've pretty much read the entire manual online (hard to find!) and can't find the info I'm looking for.


Btw, the car is manual, was in neutral, seat belt fastened, parking brake on.

Thank you a lot guys!
