What is my car trying to tell me?

I have a Suzuki Vitari, 2000. About 30 minutes ago it beeped its horn twice, lightly, and the lights blinked twice. It has continued to do this about every 5 minutes. It is about 8 degrees F now, but it has been that cold before without complaining.

The ice may be jamming the switch for the car anti-theft system. Get a blow dryer and heat up the lock and see if it stops.

move next door to magical thyme. Because if your car starts beeping lightly every 5 minutes within my earshot, I may be forced to "fix" it for you!
