Front parking sensors...an unanticipated must-have

[Yamahauler]

I love them but does anyone know where I can turn them off when offroad? They go off for every branch and twig and it drives me nuts.

There is a switch in the cluster on the console - the one with the Auto Stop/Start button, tow mode, etc. I believe it has a P on it.

Correct. Just note that I'm pretty sure turning that off also turns off the rear sensors as well. So just something to keep in mind when backing up after you've turned them off.

Im not sure exactly how the sensor button works because I need to turn it off as I have a front grill that sets them off but even with it off if something comes close sometimes they will go off but I haven't tested how reliable it is.

i duct tape a cat to the wall.
you use a small tabby and you can get right in there within an inch or two. the cat gets very vocal the closer you get

once tried using my ex wife.

FINALLY! A useful purpose for cats!

In an ideal world, I would have purchased an F150 with a bed large enough to carry my dirt bike with tailgate closed. Well, this ain't an ideal world. I live in a detached condo with no driveway. While street parking is an option, it's not convenient. So to fit in the garage, my only option was a Ranger. Colorado or Tacoma...Not!

Anyways, with less than 12" to spare in the garage, I have fallen in love with my front sensors.

Or back in and use the rear view camera. Oh crap, this was an old thread sorry!

I used my daughter's old softball batting practice ball. I know I'm in the right spot when it touches the wind shield.

I use these parking blocks. I park two cars in my garage and use one for each vehicle. They work great and there’s no need to mechanically attach them to the floor.
