Reverse
Beeper Disable
Some people find the reverse beeper distracting. Although there isn't a method to change the
repetitive beeping to just a short warning, there is a way to disable it completely. To do that,
carefully follow these steps:
1.
Switch to the odometer/trip value to display "ODO" by pushing the “ODO TRIP” button
shown in the lower-right corner of the photo below. If the speedometer-cluster was
already showing “ODO”, make sure to cycle thru each option back to “ODO” again.
2.
Power OFF (push the "Power" button).
3.
Power ON (push the "Power" button again).
4.
Within 6 seconds of powering back ON, push & hold the button for “ODO” for a
minimum of 10 seconds.
5.
While still holding the button for "ODO", shift into "R" (Reverse), then to "P" (Park).
6.
"b-on" should display on the odometer/trip-meter now. Push the "ODO TRIP" button
to switch the mode to "b-oFF", as shown here:
7.
Power OFF (push the "Power" button). That’s it! The beep should now be disabled.
Note #1:
If the sequence above failed, it may have due to the "ODO" setting not having been visible
recently. In that case, all you have to do is drive with it that way for a few miles. The next
time you try to disable the beeper, the process should work.
Note #2: If you ever disconnect the 12-volt auxiliary battery from the system (or drain it dead),
you may have to repeat the disable process again.
