Correct Angle For Parking Sensors

Featured Replies

so it work fine,but some time i think it says falls reading,,

i do not know is correct or not?

their is a up arrow on every sensors so i fitted sensors direction "up" mark.

please any 1

The arrow facing upwards is the correct alignment.

Your sensors may be picking up objects to the side of the car just out of the line of reverse which is normal.

My sensors often pick up posts and kerbs not directly behind the vehicle.

Most outer sensors normally point out at an angle due to the shape of the bumper.

Welcome anytime :)

dear friend

your opinion is is that normal,? i re check sensors and all arrow marks up alignment

your correct ,the side sensors are detect ,,but nothing their any object

thankx

Moving the outer sensors in a bit is probably not an available option.

A false alarm is better than not detecting something that you then reverse into.

Could also be a faulty sensor...

sorry iam not clear that,,you mean,,

I've had the same problem when I installed parking sensors at the front.

The original Ford PDC sensor must be placed horizontal.

So the connector should be on the side, not at the top or bottom.
