Disabling the Reverse Beep

NC_Prius · 09-04-2008, 10:00 PM

I must be extremely dense. But I'm frustrated. I've just tried this over and over again, at least 6-7 times, and it just doesn't work in my car. I hold the ODO button, count to 10, 15, 20 ... press the gear to R, then press the P button. Once I release the ODO it just goes to Trip A *every* time. So ... looks like I have to live with that annoying beep.

I thought I read in some thread that the Disable feature itself is disabled in the 08 model.

How I wish we could disable the beep on European models.
Have tried all the variations on PC without success
Maybe I could disconnect the speaker where the beep comes from ?

Just wanted to let everyone know that the procedure for turning off the back-up and seatbelt beeps posted here still works for the 2009 model.

I'm not sure if the HV battery is still isolated in IG-ON like it is in ACC or not. I've seen it described both ways here at PriusChat.

In case anyone cares

If you press the Power button ONCE with foot off the brake, you go to ACC and can listen to the radio but not run the windows or mess with NAV. I frequently use this one (and turn the display off) while listening to the radio waiting for my kid(s) to get done with some activity. Note that it will turn OFF in 60 minutes. If your wait is longer than that, you have to push power again. Meant to save the 12V if you try leave it in ACC mode all night

Press it TWICE to get Ignition On and you have all function except moving the car. This WILL be pulling power from the big battery and the ICE will start to recharge it if the SOC gets low. So, no, the HV battery is NOT isolated when in IG-ON.

Thank you so much for posting this! The reverse beep in our 2006 prius was driving my family up the wall, now it's oh so silent, though I am considering setting up some sort of beeper outside of the car to warn nearby pedestrians.

The night I fixed this, we took my daughter and her friend out to eat... her friend immediately noticed the lack of reverse beep, and I ended up having to go to her house and fix her mom's beep as well.

Thanks again!

looks like someone said it did in a few posts earlier than yours. We are discussing if we want to end the beep.
