Towing 2021 F150 with alarm blaring

I towed my 2021 F150 yesterday for the first time. All went well with the exception of the Motion alarm going off when the MH started pulling it. It went off about every 30 seconds for about 10 iterations. I kept silencing it with the remote. This vehicle has a button used to start the vehicle. I looked in SETTINGS and find no way to disable the alarm.

Anyone know how to shut the alarm off when towing?

With my 2018 F-150, you change the alarm at end of procedure from All around sensor on the view screen with the up/down button and press ok, then hit the start button without having you foot on the brake pedal.

I spoke with Ford. They said every time I put the truck into accessory mode it turns the motion alarm back on. Good to know. Turning it off via settings will be my last step when enabling neutral tow mode.

Thanks for the response.

There are little sensors in the overhead console that look like round eyes. When you don't switch the alarm to PERIMETER as your last step before ending the Neutral Tow Procedure, those littles eyes (sensors) see movement inside the truck and sound the alarm.
