Do front parking sensors activate automatically?

Filed under: parking

The question

When parking behind another car do you need to put the car into reverse before your front sensors will work to alert you how close you are?

Hi Catherine,

That varies by car actually. Some do operate like that, which is not ideal, where as others just warn you when a nearby object is detected, front or rear, regardless of which gear you are in.
