rick43065 Posted May 6, 2017 Report Share Posted May 6, 2017 Hello All, New to the this FORUM. Have owned my 2016 Ford Edge Titanium for 6 months, and I have ZERO complaints until today. It was purchased with a factory installed Tow Package. I attempted to tow for the first time today. Needing to back up into my driveway the stupid BACKUP camera / collision avoidance system was constantly sounding -- extremely annoying while backing a trailer. I can only assume it thought I was going to backup into the trailer! -- seriously?? Is there any way to simply manually mute the alarm while backing with a trailer? If not, I may have to wire a manual switch into the buzzer to disable.. Any thoughts/ suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Warm Regards, Rick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RC Mike Posted May 7, 2017 Report Share Posted May 7, 2017 Turning it off is in the manual. And of course it works that way--how is it supposed to know what is behind you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omar302 Posted May 7, 2017 Report Share Posted May 7, 2017 For easy reference, here is the part that explains it: You can turn the system on or off by pressing the parking aid button. If your vehicle does not have a parking aid button, the system can be switched off through the information display menu or from the pop-up message that appears once you shift the transmission into reverse 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rick43065 Posted May 8, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2017 THANK YOU. I searched the manual under TOWING not parking, my bad. I do have a parking assist button to the right of the shift lever to turn off the alarm! Thanks to all who assisted. Rick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
