    Does anyone know how to turn-off the horn alert part of the urgent safety warnings? I know how to mute it at the car wash. It has activated 3 times in parking lots and only 1 of them was a true urgent situation. The other times it was simply someone walking too close and they appeared angry as they thought I was honking at them. I have searched the manual and the internet.

    Yeah. The cross-traffic alert system and the reverse backup system will blow the horn in the cabin when something gets super close to hitting the car.

    Okay. But is it actually the car horn that goes off or just a loud warning thru the speakers?

    I think its just a horn-like sound that plays through the speakers. The external horn is for cars/people around the car.
