Bumper proximity sensors question

I looked for answers in the search link but no luck.
Are the proximity sensors in the bumpers adjustable? Mine seem very sensitive. If I am in a parking lot and turn sharp with very little speed, they start alerting and alarming with no objects around me. I'm sure it has something to do with steering angle and vehicle speed but I'm really not going fast at all. Are we able to adjust the sensitivity? Is this some new issue I'm about to have to deal with?

They are adjustable, but not by the end-user. Has to be done by a dealer with access to FDRS.

If I'm not mistaken I'm pretty sure I adjusted mine when I adjusted the sensitivity of the pre collision alert (different setting) On your touch display go to vehicle settings, then I believe "driver assist" then parking sensors. You can adjust just front, just rear or all. I'm not I'm my Bronco at the moment so I'm not positive on the steps but step one is the Bronco silhouette that says settings or vehicle settings.

I'll try that out this weekend. Thanks for the tips!

That would be sweet!

I just checked mine and there is an On/Off but no sensitivity setting. I only have the rear parking sensors though (Mid package), so I wonder if the High/Lux package has more options.

  • I was wrong. Unless the pre collision sensitivity works on the parking sensitivity. I suspect it does because after adjusting my settings and turning down the collision sensitivity my parking sensors have been much less sensitive
