My FL2 is six-months old today and I have had no problems with the parking sensors, or any other serious problems with the electronics for that matter.

The front sensors should turn off automatically at 10mph. I'm just wondering if your sensors have turned themselves off. I did notice the front sensors beep on the 1/2 day off road course when I had just reversed and then slowly drove forward through a large puddle. It was also raining at the time. When I later increased speed all was ok as the sensors had turned off automatically by themselves.

They turn off as you describe and work as they should, but if the car has stood in the rain, the front sensor gives the continuous beep saying i am about to hit something when they are turned on by either selecting reverse or pressing the button manually. I have no problems in the dry with them. LR have stripped them down and found one was corroded and replaced it, but the problem is still causing the beeping. They have said water must be tracking down into the sensor or the wiring, apparantley the contol unit is within the cars boot area, so water can not get into that, so they have said it has to be somewhere between the control unit and the sensors where the water ingresses. Even when it has stopped raining they do this until the car has dried a little. It really annoying as when its raining and the sensors are continuously beeping, you don't know if its the fault or a object that might be about to dent the bumper. Thats when you need them the most. |

I now understand what is happening. I haven't had any problems with the sensors and have been in some heavy rain. Maybe you could find out if is the front or back sensors by using a hose pipe on only half the car in turn. I would lift the spare wheel cover and check for water leaks in the boot.

We have had the same problem with our FL2. This has happened on several occasions ALWAYS when the car is wet. Not had the car back in at the dealers yet but will now I know it is a common issue. |

Yep, This has happened to mine a couple of times but only in the heaviest rain, (like most recently). I just assumed that water drops or streams running of the bonnet/bumper, over the sensors fronts, were making it beep. I'll get it looked at by the dealers to see if there is any water ingress/corroded sensors or wiring etc. By way, im also in West Yorkshire, maybe theres a common reason here - all this bloody rain!

Is it normal that the front sensors only activate manually?

The front sensors should activate automatically only after you engage reverse gear. If you do not reverse first , you need to activate the front ones manually! |
