Thanking you in anticipation of a cure to the problem.

Best regards.

Take good care of your loved ones,.
if it is a long continuous beep (for around 5 seconds) irritating is not the word I would use lol, but this means there is a fault in the system. There are a number of potential issues. A faulty sensor, faulty ECU or faulty loom.

The only issue I have had was a faulty sensor. To diagnose this, switch your ignition to position 2 (do not start the car) then select reverse. Put your ear to each sensor and listen for a ticking noise. Ticking means it is working, silence means a fault (before buying a replacement, check the wiring to it)

There have been other issues reported throughout the site, but I have had no experience. The diagnosis of the sensors is an easy one to do.
