IS250 Front Park Distance Sensors
Hi,
I bought a 2006 IS250 a few days ago. I'm absolutely loving everything about the car, however if find it quite challenging to park compared to BMW's which I am used to.
The rear park distance system is working perfectly and is very helpful however, either the front ones are broken, or they are non existent. I can see the sensors on the front bumper (four of them) - they look exactly the same as the rear ones, so it looks like they are there but they don't sense anything. I even asked a friend to put his hand over them to see if it beeps but nothing happens.
The car does not have the LCD screen with the reverse cam and it doesn't have the park distance control option in the satellite menu. The rear PDC works with a bunch of LED's that I can see through the rear view mirror indicating which side is getting close to an object as well as the beeps.
How can I determine whether it has front PDC or not? Is it de-activated somehow? How can I activate them? I can't seem to find this information anywhere.
Thanks, your help will be much appreciated.
