2019 transit connect - no backup sound?

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?

@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.

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

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.
