Towing audible alerts - Page 3

Hi
I'm new to the forum and have a towing question.
I have bought a new XC90 and had a Witter tow bar fitted at half the cost of that quoted by Volvo.
When I indicate there is an audible signal repeater coming from the rear area - is this a Volvo thing or is it part of the Witter fit? I get the indication on the dash that the indicators are functioning ok but can I turn the audio off? It is quite irritating.
Also, whilst towing on the way to the caravan park all was well. On the way home however, there was a 1 second tone (similar sound to the repeater) which sounded every 90 seconds from when I set off. I stopped and checked all was correctly connected but once underway the sound continued. I fiddled with the headlights on and off and eventually it stopped - anybody any idea what this 1 sec audio tone was for please?
Thanks in anticipation
Regards
Dave
