How to turn off rear parking sensors

Hi,

I have just installed a bike rack on the FL2 which is causing the parking sensors to go off in reverse. I read the manual and was more than a little surprised to find that my car does not have the required button near the door lock/unlock buttons to disable it. The sensors look to be factory fitted, but no button..

Any ideas?

Many thanks

The double width button above the right air condition control. Procrastination, mankind's greatest labour saving device!

The button on the dash is only when you have front mounted parking sensors to turn them on/off, it doesnt turn off the rears?

On my car it turns off the front & rear. I turn them off every time I leave the garage, front tone, rear tone, together with door not closed properly..... My head will explode! Procrastination, mankind's greatest labour saving device!

I don't have the front sensors, is this why I don't have a button?

Is there anything I can do? The manual advises that they are disabled when a trailer is attached, is there an easy way to trick it into thinking there is a trailer attached? Or is this not really viable.

Thanks

When I bought my 2011 FL2 it had had a a towbar fitted and removed, I discovered that the rear sensors didn't work. The dealer said it needed reconfiguring. I took it in and within a couple of minutes all was working. It's a simple job for them to switch them on or off but apparently not a user option. 3 x FL1 2 manual + 1 auto

plugging in a socket should work, but it might need a load on it, you might try a socket tester very cheap on ebay, if you live near Folkestone you can try mine

oooo cheers!

Did some searching last night and found you can adjust the volume with the steering wheel volume keys once in reverse. only takes 2 odd seconds to get to mute, but will go through the menu this evening to change it in setup.

Many thanks everyone!
