I didn't know you could without a Diagnostic Computer.
Have you asked your brother?

Have you looked through the assist settings on the MFD (multi function display) for a tick box?

If you have a towbar fitted then they often get disabled to prevent constant beeping. Was the van used to tow? Do the front sensors work ok? There is a little switch inside the towbar 12v socket I understand that disables the sensors when a trailer is attached. Worth checking that isn't stuck in, if you have one, or that something isn't still plugged in.

There should be a "P" button on the dash to disable them temporarily. As far as I know you need a computer to disable them permanently but I could be wrong.

They can also stop working if they get damaged, if they're dirty you are more likely to just get a constant beeping.

often than not a 13 to 7 pin adapter has been left plugged in the towbar socket and the sensors are still turned off as the van will think there is a trailer behind it.

Button on the dash....

or the the Head unit of the radio we have a X button over a speaker symbol which turns them off
