Backup Sensors Stopped Beeping

[TelLX]

Newbie to the Forum...and to KIA.
Love the Telly!
Except for one issue.
About a month after purchase (new 2021 LX) the backup beeps stopped beeping.
When I shift to reverse, it'll beep once....and that's it.
What's really frustrating is when I brought back to dealer service, the official conclusion....
"No codes in system showing. No system faults. Tech tested backup sensors. Working as designed."
This even after I demonstrated that it doesn't beep....as I was about to back into one of their new Stinger's
Any advice would be appreciated!

Are you backing up closely to large objects or other cars? PDW proximity sensors will not beep if you are not near anything, even in reverse gear. How far away were you from the Stinger?

Have you checked the sensors don’t have mud or other debris covering them on the bumper?

They worked as designed for first month, then stopped. No matter how close to car... or wall... or any large object behind vehicle, no warning beeps. Sensors are clean and no physical damage. That was first thing service dept. checked.

There are settings in the driver assist menu to silence a lot of the alerts. Off the top of my head I don't remember if proximity sensors are one of those...I know I can disable audible alerts for blindspot monitors, for example.

Not trying to be stupid at all with my response. The selector in the pic is engaged I assume, since you indicated you get one beep? I accidentally turn mine off sometimes when cleaning the interior.

Yes, that was the first thing I checked.

Yes, checked that first.
