Other day I was casually driving in the city going about 50km/h. Than I accidentally bumped into the handbrake lifting it just enough to get the light on the dashboard to light up and car beeps 3 times but not enough to actually engage the handbrake. I immediately pulled it down and just continue driving. And ever since than the car beeps 3 times every time I go over 30km/h(I mean EVERY TIME). It's really annoying and I tried some things to get rid of it, now I actually don't know if the beeps are related to the handbrake but since it started happening after the ''accident'' I would assume that it does relate. I also tried resetting dashboard fault codes with OBD2 (I don't have any), no luck there. Tried lifting the handbrake again while driving but nothing changed. If anybody had similar issue please let me know, I would really appreciate any help and I'm open to any questions. It's like the car thinks the handbrake is on or something but than again if I lift HB than accelerate it starts beeping immediately not after reaching 30. So I really don't know. Car had MOT 4 days ago, everything was fine.
