Default Door Open Warning Sound

I have a 2004 Focus Sedan, if you open the door while the car is in Reverse or Drive there is a loud warning chime. Just wondering is there anyway to disable this feature?

I'm not too sure, it doesn't say LR or LS anywhere. Car is a Singapore import.

LR/S/T/V is unique to Oz correct? so I'm not sure if it's applicable to N.Z. but it seems likely you've got an LR (Mk1).

Yeah a Singapore import would be an LR. LS/LT/LV are Aussie because we get them from South Africa. NZ get their equivalent from Germany due to the aussie demand

I'd be more worried about the fact that your door is open long enough in a driving gear to worry about the chiming noise!

As soon as you open the door in Reverse and even if the car isn't moving the warning sound comes on and its really loud.

Maybe he is a stunt man and jumps out of hes car in reverse but the sound is distracting him.
