Reverse beeper?
So on my new truck, on the dash i have a button for what I think it is a reverse beeper. On my rear bumper I have a few black sensors? I think they are sensors anyways. But each time I turn it on, and put the truck into reverse, there is no beeps or anything, and the button automatically switches to off. Im not really concerned about it either, just curious.

mine does not apply the brakes, mine is always on and i have to push the button to turn it off, then when i take it out of reverse it turns itself back on, only starts beeping when i get to about 4 feet from anything behind me, beeping gets quicker around 2 feet and a solid beep at about 1 foot and under between my bumper and whatever is behind, it also gives me 3 beeps when i'm backing up over parking blocks when i'm a few feet from them, works real good where i work for when i'm unloading into the front of the building

I think it turns itself on when yo go into reverse, maybee you are turning if off when you hit the button when you think you were turning it on. Just an idea not trying to be rude or anything, I just know in my mom's nissan that is how it and and it drives me crazy when backuping up with a trailer with it.

I'm with Pop on the braking thing. That could create some interesting situations when backing up with a trailer.

talked to my bud that sells cars to the in laws. the edge has the sensors, but are strictly audible. the EB expy she had before was setup to apply brakes at 1ft before impact. It was an option that would have to be disabled when towing.
I thought about installing the audible ones on my truck, but think they just might be more of a pain.

rollerstud discribed it right. I ordered them on my 02 and didnt know how I would like them, but after 5yrs I love em. Its amazing how lazy you get backing up and not really looking hard at what is behind you. The biggest pain is tall grass and snow, but you get use to it.
