Hi, bought a QQ Acenta with smart vision 2015 1.2digit a couple of weeks ago and the problem list is growing for the dealership to look at on the 30th November.
I have a question, to the right of the steering wheel is a button with a "P" marked on it. The handbook says the button is used to manually switch the parking sensors off and on.
My sensors have been playing up so I switched them off using the button, but they continually switch themselves back on. On a straight road 1 mile long I switched them off 8 times.
The question is if I switch them off should they stay off until I switch them on or select reverse.
Dealership say if switched off they will automatically come on when the car starts moving.
I know I can switch front or rear or both off in setting.
Thanks
John.

Dealers are correct, when you turn them off using that button it's only a temporary thing, they will stay off until you come to a stop then re activate. The only way to turn them off is to go into the main menu in the centre screen between the dials and go into parking aids and turn off either front or rear or both, they will now be disabled until you re activate them doing Following the same procedure. Hope this helps

Thanks for the information, the front sensors are playing up, I press the button and almost instantly they re-activate. Once they sort the front sensors it won't be a problem.
I did enquire re having a towbar fitted and the towbar centre I would deactivate the sensors when trailer is coupled by pressing the button. Won't be going there to have it fitted. Thanks john.

With the original towbar installed, the rear sensor will automatically be turned off. At least it does on my car when I the connect the trailer.Johnsummer wrote: ↑Fri Nov 24, 2017 11:49 pm Thanks for the information, the front sensors are playing up, I press the button and almost instantly they re-activate.

Not true on my car, they seem to be on a timer rather than being linked to vehicle movement. I turn mine off when off-roading but they soon come back on when you pass a clump of grass or debris on the ground.

Mine stay activated with trailer connected, genuine Nissan supplied and installed. I have to press the button when reversing to stop the annoying bleeping. OK going forward. If you fit a tow bar you might need the software adjusted to narrow the sensor angle so the sensors don't pick up the tow ball.chosan wrote: ↑Sat Nov 25, 2017 9:31 amWith the original towbar installed, the rear sensor will automatically be turned off.

That's interesting...........................I've just had a look in my handbook and according to that it's just a switch. Nothing about timers, vehicle movement or your discovery about holding the button in.
