Default Parking Sensors

Its 10 degrees here in Schaumberg IL and My parking censers are going crazy.
My rear drivers side censer is going of and the screen is blinking red when there is nothing behind me.

After driving it for 15mins and going to the gas station when I put the car in reverse now the censer in the "center Rear is acting up.

Is this normal when its cold?

I would just take it into the dealer and get it checked out. But i dont think i've ever read about the parking censors going off randomly.

Are the parking censors the people that try and shame you for parking in a bad spot?

normal welcome to Chicago cold weather. My GS does it and so did the IS. Its the cold and build up, ect...I find it to be the worst when its snowing and you come to a stop it doesnt like it. You can always turn it off while it does this and just turn it back on. I was just talking to Vik about this a few days ago.

Nope, they are the ones that remove foul language within parking lots and garages. That's why you sometimes see a 'parental advisory' sign when entering.

You're thinking of the Puritanicapped.

Going off at random during winter--that's the main reason I opted against them for my car. BTW, it's SENSORS!! Sorry, couldn't control myself...
