Towbar related beeping

Post by Sambino » Sat Apr 24, 2010 9:19 am

I just put a towbar on my Bongo in order to use a bike rack. Whenever the rack is on theres is a beeping whenever I indicate. At first I thought it was the same as the reversing beep, but they can happen similtaneously.

Is this meant to happen? Can I stop it or a least muffle it a a bit as it's really loud ouside the van and confuses pedestrians?

its one of the regs that is needed with a towbar, ie when towing something it sounds to show that the attached trailer/caravans indicators are working

Agreed.. If you can't kill em, confuse em

Hmm maybe I should stop playing video games before nipping out in the van :roll:

I'll put up with it then. I never knew Bongo's could be educational, I've learn't loads since I got mine and it's only 3 weeks!
