Hi All,
The front parking sensors on my 2019 Camry Hybrid SL are just about useless!
I find that even if I creep up very slowly to something the sensors take an age to react and then only if they can see something at a very oblique angle, i.e., not directly in front of the car.
It does say in the owners handbook that there is a delay before they react, but really... 🤯
I haven't had reason to try the reversing sensors much but at least they point more towards the rear of the car, not angled to the sides like the front, but even so there is that stupid delay and they don't act until I am very close to anything.
Overall I am very happy with my new car but those front 'sensors' drive me batty because the front of the car sticks out well past where the sensors pick up any obstacles, so if I park nose up to a plain brick wall I don't get any warning. I'm worried that I'm going to damage the front even though I'm paranoid about being careful, it's very hard to gauge where the front is from the driver's seat.
Is this all normal?? Is there any adjustment for the stupid things??
Has anyone added any after-market front sensors to their SL Hybrid? 🤔
Cheers,
D.
