One additional piece of information: the proximity sensors are shown on the head-up display, which is by far the best I’ve ever seen.

Anyone else have issues with their auto parking camera not turning ON? I have it selected, it just doesnt turn On when I park front first. When I reverse, the cameras turn on perfectly fine.

Am I missing something: i can’t turn the parking system off? it is not available says the screen when I want to kill the parking sound. And for those who ask why: when I bacK up on my driveway the system sees the curb and thinks I m gonna hit it…

I noticed that it activates when the wheels are straight, so I've added it to the diamond button.

Thanks for posting. Can you tell us what the HUD is telling us about (i.e., what objects in the real world correspond to the red lines—I’m assuming the blue lines are your direction of travel)?

Looks like it gives you a bit of extra space between wheel and curb. Maybe to allow for wheel swing associated with rear wheel steering?
Yes! Sharp turns leaving a curb can cause a rear wheel to climb a curb. Ask me how I know! 😩
