Parking too slow

[istoyanov]

Hi there, do you notice when approaching a wall at the front your oarking sensir start warning almost when the wall can be hit? I mean the notifiction is too slow. Meanwhile in traffic it warms I am too close while on traffic light.

What version software are you on? The older ones are quite sluggish and the infotainment system slow to bring up the parking display, but yes - I've had situations when things outside are moving much faster than the system can react to.

The most annoying is when squeezing through a tight gap, even at walking pace the proximity alarm goes solid a second or two after you clear the gap. This leaves you wondering if you didn't spot something, but there's nothing there.

Exactly! Its 1940.

Try updating to 1969, it's supposed to be snappier. I've done mine but not really driven it since, so can't confirm if it really helps that much.

Yeah. Dealer told me without issues we won't update. I will make some complaints after holidays.

Mine was on 1898, I used the 1969 file posted here and the instructions to update it myself - only took 15 minutes. Last time I went to the dealership they told me the same, even under warranty they will only update software if you register a fault that might be caused by it, or it's in for a service.
