Hi all
Anyone had trouble with their rear parking sensors picked up my STX a fortnight ago mine are not working
Being a woman and not mechanically minded I wonder if anyone can help or should I just take it back to the dealer to look at.
Thanks in advance

Being that new I'd take it back to the dealer. Do you have the rear view camera and if so, does that work?

Have you tried switching them on in the vehicle settings menu? should be under driving aids or something like that, same place as where you'll find lane keeping aid, rear courtesy wipe etc...

Little button with P on it under the handbrake switches parking sensors on or off. Thought rear view cam was standard on St line X. Perhaps part of the driver assistance pack.

P button only switches off the front sensors not for the rear.

I agree with @Sparks, as the car is new, just take it back to the dealer. Probably a loose connection but at least it will be sorted out officially and under warranty
