The backup warning sound in my 2010 Fusion Hybrid is loud enough to make
people in the back seat almost jump out of their skin when I back up
near some object. If I turn it off with the menu option, it comes on
again after I turn the engine off and start again. Anyone know of a way
to permanently turn it off or reduce the sound volume?
Thx,
Ron

Locate the audio warning device, with a pair of side cutters isolate the
device from its wiring...Permanent but reversability is a bit of a
problem...

I'd think a simple connector unplugging would give the same result, and
be reversible!

That might be tough; I think the sound comes from the sound system
speakers.

Might be, but he's talking about disabling the sensor itself, not the sound.

If your not handy with tools, you could always back up repeatedly into a
brick wall until the sound stops to permanently disable the sensor..   :)

I thought the sound was an external beeper to warn pedestrians that was
somehow not well muffled inside. Why would it be beeping inside?

To warn the driver that he/she was about to back into someone/something.

Try turning it off in the menu. If not they can turn it off for
you at the dealer.
