More on the front and rear parking sensors. They are activated with a button on the switch panel. This is different from the 2016.5 which had a switch to kill the sensors. They always defaulted to on and had to be switched off.
So, with the switch on, the sensors give off the bleep with increasing intensity as you get nearer an object. An image of the car is super imposed onto the back up screen or any other selected screen when the vehicle moves forward up to about 10mph. In the next photo I’m parallel parking back up to another car. You can see the lock in the lines and you can see that the image is showing close proximity at the rear bumper.
As I get closer, the whole thing starts to light up and the front and rear bleepers have distinctly different tones.
These photos show the position of the body coloured sensors.....
A couple of other things. The reversing lights are led’s on mine I’m please to report. You can see the light from them in the back up camera images above. This shows one of the small clusters.
They are surprisingly bright.....
My SD card for the satnav didn’t arrive with the car so I’m running without it. In its absence, the nav screen shows quite a nice ships compass. The upper screen is also devoid of those confounded street names that seem to overwrite everything else.
And finally, something a bit different for you US guys and that is this European obligatory rear fog light.
