VDC turns off and on the Vertical Driver Changer... Basically activates the ejector seat button. The ringing was most likely just the alert to let you know the seat was armed.

It could be your tire pressure is low, it usually emits a 10 second beep along with the warning light. Did a light come on your dash that looks like this: (!)

+1, that's what it is.

but I would have checked the owner’s manual for these types of issues...

Look for that flat tire symbol that has a exclamation point next to it!!!
Its on the left side of your dash. I won't go off till you tire(s) deflate to 27psi and your doing at least 20mph. It's all in you Owners Manual, I know I know those are like Instructions.... I hate those things

Wait until it rains, turn it off, stomp on the gas on the first sharp corner you come to and see what happens, then report back here...
