Just bought a new 2014 Kluger Grande.

Really love the car in every way, with one exception:

The repetitive beep that sounds while the door slowly opens and again when closing.

I get the safety aspect. But his noise is so obnoxious i suspect we're in danger of having the opposite affect.

Service guy at the dealer said it cant be turned off.

Saw blog (which i cant find again) that says it can.

Does anyone know if and how to get this beep disabled?

Cheers,

Brad

Hi BradA,

I have had the same issue with my 2014 Grande and it is driving me nuts! And the neighbours too - especially when I get home after midnight and need something out of the boot. I am not tall enough to always get things out of the hatch and it is not easy to use the door with the automatic function off.

I have enquired about pulliing the plug on this noise and apparently it can be done by resetting/changing some factory settings by the service boys at your local Toyota. The car needs to be hooked up to their computers etc.

I have not actually followed through with this because I have a 5 year old and it is a really good safety feature because the emergency stop function (if something gets in the way of the closing door) is not that great and would still hurt a child before it stopped. It needs a fair amount of resistance to stop that door.

Hope this helps!

Nat

PS IMHO I probably wouldn't go playing with it myself - warranty issues, etc

The software that the dealers use can be used to enable/disable/change a whole range of things including warning signals.

The software (Techstream) is available here.. http://www.toyota-tech.eu/GTS/Wizard/Step5-Software.aspx
Do not attempt to connect to your car using this software, leave it for the professionals.

Dealers may be reluctant to disable warning beeps because of liability worries???

Check the US Toyota owners site forum for more info.... www.toyotanation.com

      Brake issues

      BTW forgot to mention that there is no shake in the steering wheel. The 'shudder', really hard to describe but almost like brakes on and off. Cannot identify front or rear or both. Got me totally miffed.

      Brake issues

      Hi everyone, new to this forum - refugee from LCOOL. Had a minor shudder when applying the brakes. Also was somewhat intermittent. Having over 100k on the clock a lot which were done towing a big van, I thought I may have warped a disk. Checked them with a dial gauge but no useful info. Bit the bullet and replaced all 4 with new slotted rotors and pads from DBA. Huge difference in braking. However the shudder has return almost with a vengeance. Thought I fixed the problem when I disconnected the ECU for another unrelated issue. ECU is remapped, car went in limp mode and could not clear it with the scangauge. Problem not fixed and I am lost as to why this is happening. Plan on visiting Berima Diesel later on this year to have the injectors checked and I'll get them to look at the brakes if I still haven't figured it out. Any suggestions would be welcomed. Thank you

      Hi everyone, new to this forum - refugee from LCOOL. Having read some of the replies, to the best of my knowledge there is no such thing as a minor remap. Toyota in their wisdom have the software in the ECU such that it cannot be downloaded, modified and reloaded. It has to be a complete reload, either stock or modified. All you fellows disconnecting the battery is a good and simple way to try and reset everything but similar results can be achieved by simply disconnecting the ECU. That's the big plug in the firewall passenger side. Meanwhile I may need to start a new topic for the following issues I am experiencing: Had a minor shudder when applying the brakes. Also was somewhat intermittent. Having over 100k on the clock a lot which were done towing a big van, I thought I may have warped a disk. Checked them with a dial gauge but no useful info.
