Magnumtripod Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 I recently bought a new 2019 connect. I came from a 2015 that had a backup cam and an audible signal that beeped faster and faster the closer I got to something. The 2019 doesn't beep and I can't find any option to enable it. Is it even possible to turn this feature on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
windguy Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 (edited) @magnumtripod - Congrats on your new van and welcome to the forum. The audible signal or beep is part of the parking sensor assist system. I have that on my 2015 Cargo, but it was an option that I ordered. Front and rear sensors. There is a switch on the 2015 to disable the rear parking assist in case you have a trailer that would affect the sensor. Does your 2019 have sensors in the bumper? Not sure if they made that a standard feature. I think backup cams are a requirement now, not sure on vans.

Double Nickels Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 In USA, backup cameras are now the law. A safety requirement. Every car must have it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnumtripod Posted October 9, 2019 Author Share Posted October 9, 2019 You guys are absolutely right. I didn't even think about the bumper sensors. My van does not have them, therefore I won't have any backup sounds. I assumed maybe it was integrated with the camera and the green, yellow and red assist lines on the screen. Thanks for your help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billet_@bellsouth.net Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 I just bought a 20 and was surprised (and disappointed) to find that I didn't have the sensors either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom899 Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 (edited) If ordering, the salesman should remind that this is an option. I've heard others complain about this on other Ford vehicles, including my brother that ordered a Fusion a few years ago and was very disappointed when he found out there were no backup sensors. He ordered the camera and just figured it would also beep. Edited August 10, 2020 by Tom899 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gideon Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 I should check but don't believe I have sensors in rear bumper [2016 XL wagon]. But the back-up camera seems to beep ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
