Front Radar: What turns it on??
My Owner's manual seems to have disappeared so I can't look it up. I keep hitting curbs, I turn the parking radar on but the next time I need it it's off??
How do you keep it ON? |
It turns on after pressing the button or putting the car in reverse.
It turns off automatically. AFAIK, there is no way to keep it on permanently. |
Nor would you want it on permanently. It would go off constantly in traffic.

Yes, I agree, but I am not sure why the design is this way. My Porsche never had false alarms in traffic, not does my wife's Volvo. I suppose I could try to study why those two cars do not require manual activation for forward proximity sensors, but they work so I just live with it.

None of those other cars 'look' as low as the Jag. My volvo would never see a 3" curb as the Jag does. crucial!

It only picks up objects in close proximity, wouldn't sense other cars unless they were a foot or so away. I just never think to turn it on until I've climbed a curb... Kinda too late. |
It doesn't really work for parking stops;can't seem to pick them up that low.
