Front parking sensor not automatically activated
I'm a new owner of a BMW M235i and I love it, but have one small question/issue I hope someone can help me with.
In settings I have activated that the front parking sensor shall activate when I slowly approach an opstacle in front - but the sensors never activate by themselves. If I manually activate parking mode they are fully activated and works - but never when driving close towards an obstacle. I often park in lower basement parkings with narrow turns so appreciate the extra help the sensors provide. Thanks in advance for any feedback. |

On mine the default setting was that they were on auto, have you had the car from new?

I did a few test, that I would like to share with all of you. Maybe there is a pattern?
When slowly driving straight towards a wall the parking sensors actually do activate. Way too late to my liking - only when reaching the "red" zone. My main issue is when turning into ramp between parking floors. Those are narrow. For me it's a right turn, and I need to keep my front left corner close to the wall for the turn. Here I notice that despite being very close the sensors doesn't activate. I'm thinking two things: You have to be very close to the obstacle for the sensor to activate - maybe my front left corner isn't that close? - and secondly, maybe the sensors only activate with something straight ahead of you? Thanks. Couldn't agree more! |

If it had been reset before now you probably would encounter such difficulties. All you need do is to put it back to the default settings. It would automatically be corrected if your sensor has no fault |

I hit the 12K mark and went for service. Together with the service advisor I double checked this a few times, and it seems like:
- In some models the sensitivity on when the parking sensors in the front automatically will be enabled can be adjusted - but not in this model - The sensors will only automatically activate when the sensor go from yellow to red. So you have to be really close! As said, we tested it a few times, and it works, but you really have to be close - closer than I prefer, but this can't be adjusted. |
