Parking Sensors with trailer

When I have a trailer attached all the sensors are disabled ( front and back )

Is this correct for a MY2012 car Question

On my D3 it was only the rear that was disabled or is there another setting in the ccf /eucd I have missed Question

Thanks,
Ian.

The original D3 settings were great as the fronts came on automatically at very low speed; this was revised for later cars.

On the D4 they only come on if you use reverse first or select them on. If the rears are disabled by the trailer then only the manual selection for the fronts is available.

I'm going to nudge something with the front one day.

Is it possible to set the fronts to low-speed automatic with an MSV or IID?

Thanks Robbie,

I have not found anything in the ccd/eucd but will go through them again.

Will try switching on the front ones when the trailer is on, not sure if I tried this now or not Rolling Eyes

I haven't tested the front sensors whilst towing so can't confirm yet it they work or not, but it seems that on the 2013 RRS, the front sensors are disabled when towing, can anyone confirm if this is also the case with the MY13 D4 Question

The front sensors don't work on my MY13 with a trailer or bike rack fitted. The explanation I was given by the dealer-there is only 1 module for F and R. My ex-volvo XC60 on the other hand would work the F if I had the rack on. Go figure?

Mmmm, as I thought, I have had an email from LRCS saying they should work, but then again someone I know with a RRS has also had the same reply, but now LR have changed their mind and apparently they are no longer supposed to work with a trailer attached.
