Parking sensor button

[Tj7456]

Hi Everyone

I have been having issues with my front parking sensors and have sent my car to my local Jaguar dealer for repair

When you were in drive and press the button marked with the arrow in picture do your front parking sensors activate? Im fairly certain they used to on mine. My jaguar dealer tells me that isnt the case and to activate the front parking sensors you need to put the car into reverse first and this button doesn't activate them. What happens in your car when you press it?

Mine do activate when I press that in drive, but I have to be going slowly (say 10mph?) or stationary.

Takes a few seconds to register, and other than the light showing up, the illustration of the car and the sensors doesn't show until I get close to something.

Thanks whoknows. Mine does nothing. Does a orange bar appear at the bottom of the button when you press it? Mine flashes orange then goes out.

Orange line above the icon you press I think.


The manual also clearly says you can do it manually also:

"To manually enable the parking aid system:

Touch the parking aid icon (2). The icon illuminates while the parking aid system is enabled.

Touch the icon 2 again to disable the system. The LED extinguishes.

The parking aid system also activates if Reverse (R) or Neutral (N) is selected.

The parking aid system can be set to activate automatically for when:

The vehicle’s speed falls below 10 km/h (6 mph).

Drive (D) is selected.

A transition to and away from Reverse (R) on vehicles with a manual transmission.

To enable the auto on feature:

Select the settings icon (1) to access the PARKING AID SETTINGS pop-up menu.

Select Automatic PDC ON."

Ie that grey bar above the p goes orange if I remember correctly

Thanks WhoKnows. It sounds like mine still has a fault then as it's not doing that.
