I live in a house at the end of a long driveway with neighbors on both sides of the driveway. I'm not particularly eager to disturb my neighbors when I reverse the car down the driveway at 5 am with the beeping sound when the vehicle is reversing. Is there a way to turn it off?

I don't have this feature, what car do you have?

 

[Seattleman]

I have a 2021 Volvo XC60 P8.

I have a 2021 Volvo XC60 P8.

XC60? Or XC40 - I thought the beeping was only inside your car when you get close to something and yes you can turn it off for the inside beeping in the centre display when you see the 360 view or rear view there is a touch button on the screen to turn off and on.

Just close the windows ...

The xc40 recharge P8 has a reversing beeper like a commercial vehicle. It seems important as it is rather stealthy without.

That does make sense. I recall adding a beeper incorporated into my 740 Volvo's backup light. I could not do this with my XC70's LED backup light. So, likely I can add the backup light/beeper into my T5 R-Design? Thanks

And how will that prevent my neighbors from hearing the beeping sound?

No, I am not talking about that. Those sounds are only inside the car. I am talking about the constant beeping sounds even when you are nowhere near any obstacles.

 

[SeattleCat]

It does not alas save them. At least it is rather quiet compared to commercial vehicles or worsen yet car alarms.

Have they complained or are you being a superbly mindful neighbor ?

 

[SeattleCat]

You could probably do it with vdash.

On the subject of working things out has anyone got a copy of the xc40 owners manual In electronic form.

Not the searchable online version but an actual read from page 1 to n manual?

So I have an XC40 Recharge for just over two weeks now - no beeping when backing up at all other than when you get close to an object and that is on the inside.
So not sure what beeping sounds you are referring to.
Unless it is a US regulation for electric vehicles that it is on US models only - other option is to back up your driveway when you get home and when you leave you will be going forward without any beeping.

You are right. They have not complained. It's probably the latter - I am being overly cautious. I like to take my car out for a long drive very early in the morning (before 5 am) when the Seattle roads are not filled up with traffic.

Correction - XC40 P8 not XC60

So not this? XC40 Recharge Pure Electric 2021 | Volvo Support
Wasn’t sure which one you meant.

 

[SeattleCat]

Yea the one with the terribly long name which they should just of called the xc40 P8

I disabled all the external sounds by pulling fuse 17 under the hood, as described here: Fuses under the bonnet | Fuses | Maintenance and service | XC40 Recharge Pure Electric 2021 | Volvo Support. It gives an error message that you have to acknowledge, which then goes away. I would like to know where the external sound module actually is; maybe it can be disabled directly, and avoid the message.

Thanks a lot! I will do that.
