My girlfriend just got a prius. Nice car.....

How do you stop the beeping sound when you put the car in reverse? Its getting annoying.

Thanks.

If you do a search you should find the answer, this has been asked before! I don't recall the steps, I think they may involve sacrificing a chicken, but it can be done!

For myself, I just decided to get used to it.

Part of the ritual (which does include a chicken) is getting out of the car and kicking the left front tire.

I like the beeping, now that I know it's not waking up my neighbors.

Depends - is your Prius a North American model, or is it a 2004+ Prius outside of the US and Canada? You can only turn it off on North American models.

You may need to try it a few times to get the timing and procedure right...

I think John may have put it in his User Guide by now...

Yah, but John's isn't complete. He forgot the part about the chicken, and kicking the tire.

Does anyone know how to turn off the reverse beep for a European 2005 model ?

supposedly, you need to cut a particular wire, but so far on the groups no one has been willing to try it...

If you remove your "EV" switch, the N. American procedure works. ..................(meant to be a funny!.....I don't believe you can........But, then again!)

The part about walking clockwise around the Prius twice isn't included either. :wink:

And yes, it's in the User-Guide (with photos) on page #4.
