I find that when reversing out of a parking spot after just starting the vehicle, the 360 degree camera pops up on the screen but I get no proximity beeps when my car is about to hit something as I reverse out of the spot.
I checked and all the settings are enabled but no beeps or warnings at all that I might reverse into something.
Ironically, when I have been driving the vehicle for a while and then reverse into a parking spot, the proximity sensors work. It only doesn't work when I start the car and reverse out of a parking spot.
Any others experience something similar?
Parking Proximity Sensors Not Working Properly
Can anyone comment on this issue I've been having? The cross traffic collision sensor works when reversing out of a spot but the proximity sensors do not work upon a cold start of the car and reversing out of a parking spot.
In other words, it seems to be able to detect when cars are approaching using the cross traffic sensors but if there are no cars coming, it won't beep even if I get close to hitting other parked cars or walls behind me when I reverse out of my spot.

Sounds like an error on your car - mine works fine with both the sensors and the cross traffic when reversing out of car park spaces.

Are you actually hitting things with no warning?jagstyles wrote: ↑Wed Sep 05, 2018 12:46 am Can anyone comment on this issue I've been having?

I always think I'm closer to things than I really am and need to be pretty close before I get any alert.
I'm definitely close enough that the sensors should be beeping and had my wife test it. Oddly enough, these sensors only seem to work after I've been driving for a while and then reverse into a parking stop but if I reverse out of a parking spot from a cold start, the proximity sensors don't beep.pp67 wrote: ↑Wed Sep 05, 2018 2:32 pmAre you actually hitting things with no warning?jagstyles wrote: ↑Wed Sep 05, 2018 12:46 am Can anyone comment on this issue I've been having?
