1. If I'm in reverse the sensor switch light comes on and i can go back and forward to maneuver with the sensors.
2. As soon as i drive off the light goes off and if i come to a hazard in front of me, say going front end in a car park, i have to manually switch the sensors on? unless i go into reverse again! and then it switches on automatically.
3. Surely the sensors should come on automatically when you get close to a hazard in front.
4.Have also set the parking system in the MMI to automatic, reset the MMI and still the same,have also tried putting it to off reset and back on again and still the same.
So Q7 guys out there (if any) can you let me know?? if this has to be done manually or should it be automatic, I have a transit for work and i have to physically switch off the sensors if i don't need them (something i would never do). so it a bit strange i have to switch them on on my all bells and whistles super dooper Q7??; SEE ATTACHED PIC thankS
Hi,
If it works the same way as my A6s did, then no - the front sensors do not trigger automatically. You need to press the button or engage reverse to switch them on.
Things work differently on my Q5, but it's a much newer model...
Cheers!
