This is a pretty easy fix. 1. Keep you foot on the break and turn the car on. 2. Press the odometer/trip button until your dash displays the odometer mileage. 3. Turn the car off and while keeping your foot on the break, restart the car by pressing the on button. 4. Immediately press and hold down the Odometer/trip button for at least 10 seconds. 5. While still holding down the Odometer/trip button put the car in reverse. You will hear the reverse beeping. Then push the park button. 6. You can now release the Odometer/trip button and if you keep pushing the button you can toggle the beep to come on or turn off by looking on your dash. It should say "b-on" or "b-off". 7. Toggle it to the "b-off" setting and put your car in reverse and that annoying beep should be turned off.
