Finally figured out front sensors
Posted: Wed Jun 09, 2021 4:59 pm
Only had the car for 4 weeks so still sorting the bits out.
The other day when I parked in front of a hedge the front sensors did not alarm. When I got home and reversed the car into the garage I got the book out and it said that the front sensors had to be switched on by the switch next to the gear lever. I knew every time I have pulled out of the garage the front sensors had activated without being switched on. I then started the car in the garage, put it in reverse and the sensors alarmed, put it into drive and the front sensors alarmed, the light was on in the "P" button. I pulled out this morning and all sensors was working until I got to 12 MPH and the "p" light went out. I then parked the car using reverse. When I came back to the car and pulled away again the "P" light was lit and all sensors worked until 12MPH. I then stopped the car switched off, started up and drove off but none of the sensors was working.
It would appear that if I have reversed the car, all the sensors are working until it has reached 12 MPH in forward gear.
Cannot understand that if they switch off automatically at 12 MPH, why can they not switch back on automatically when below 12 MPH?
