Very pleased with my new car but one major niggle - how do you reduce the sound level of the warning beeps when reversing . Have searched the forum/manual etc and have yet to find out how this can be achieved. Any advice out there

I believe that you need to turn down the volume button for the radio whilst the parking sensors are live SD4 HSE Lux

.....& the front!

Backing out of the garage alarms were going off everywhere. I turned the seatbelt alarm off as I was not putting on the seatbelt to back out of the garage, only to remove the seatbelt to then get out of the car to close the garage door, meanwhile another alarm as I open the car door. It's worse than a symphony brass section!

I often turn them off simply because the sound is painfully loud. I would rather park the car the old way..... touch parking, it's quieter! Procrastination, mankind's greatest labour saving device!

but, if I remember correctly there is a default minimum level and even that may be too loud for some.

Tried holding the volume button on the steering wheel whilst sensors were bleeping - neither increase nor decrease with radio on or off. Any ideas  MY 09 GS manual in Lago Grey, Wood Co arm rest and side bumper strips - now sold.

I like the reversing audio up high so that it drowns out the noise of reversing over people who are annoying!!!!
SE spec no screen?

Volume on steering wheel or main dash should work

Tried all ways but to no avail - calling into the selling dealers on Saturday, they are baffled as they recommend the same procedure as you guys. Will advise outcombe in due course.

It could be worse it could beep and say "Warning Keep Clear Freelander Reversing"
