Same as mine, glad no one was watching me a few minutes ago, went outside (and its cold here also) start engine, select reverse, Beeps to let you know its active, select neutral, go back to the rear and they beep to let you know something is near, go round to the front, yes they beep, back to the rear they beep, drive off get the doors to lock, stop select neutral go to the back no beep, round to the front no beep, park back on the drive. |

They will continue to beep as long as the sensor thinks there is an obstacle within range and there is power going to the sensor. As yuo say only way to switch off the beep is press the button on the dash or turn the engine off. However, when you turn the engine back on they will beep unless you've managed to move away from the obstacle while switched off which is unlikely. |

No, not our either of ours, as soon as the car is put in neutral the beeps stop. ______________________ 2011 Full Fat RR 4.4 TDV8 2012 FL2 SD4 Auto HSE 2013 Kawasaki Versys 650 |

My manual fl2 did exactly the same as your khewitt, you want it to beep out of gear, what if you was parking on a hill and rolled forward out of gear

I'm not saying it's not normal, what he says in his post that I highlighted in RED ours doesn't do and thats on both the FL2 & the D3 ______________________

Read his post again Nick, he was reversing into a space against a wall, not moving forward ______________________ 2011 Full Fat RR 4.4 TDV8 2012 FL2 SD4 Auto HSE 2013 Kawasaki Versys 650 |

I know , the manual FL2 will keep the the sensors on, whether they were activated by reverse gear or the switch (which has to be pressed to turn them on if you are parking forwards )

The GS stops when you put the car in neutral as we do not have a deactivate button on the dash. |

Mmm I wondering if they have changed the way it works on new models, or the button is therefore cars with front sensors

^ Absolutely, stops beeping as soon as neutral is selected and no button. |
