Parking sensors
« on: 24 October 2009, 18:02:44 »

The wife's new elite estate has parking sensors and i don't think they are working the way they should. when you put it in reverse you get a single short note and then it just gives a continual note and does not change at any distance. It only stops when you take it out of reverse. has anyone had this before. :-/

Yep, happens occasionally on mine.

Could try unplugging the park pilot unit in the boot area then plugging it back in, also worth cleaning the park sensors.

I have after market Cobra ones fitted to my Mega and sometimes they do the same thing.I think it is caused by accumulation of dirt or water and one thinks it is close to an object.Agree with VXL V6...disconnect and give good clean then refit..also worth giving them a good wipe every so often,especially now weather is turning .
