Parking assist display
Hi
I have a Graphite on order, and am trying to while away the weeks before delivery by finding out as much as I can about the car as this is my first Discovery and I am trading up from a very basic Touran. I've read the online manual and searched for info, but not found what I am looking for.
The Graphite has a reversing camera built in, plus front and rear parking sensors. Do the sensors have any visual guidance to show how far away an object is, or is it done by audio tone?
Cheers

Reversing camera can be set to indicate how close you are to an obstacle. Otherwise it's down to audio tone.

Yes, they'll show up on the touchscreen when either reverse is selected or you manually enable the sensors by pressing the button D4 MY14 XXV - RLD/IID BT

Does it in any way display the distance to objects in front or behind, or does it just beep? My Touran beeps and I was hoping for something a bit more visual.MY16 D4 Graphite in Loire Blue

It shows bands of colours progressively turning to dark red ....which is about 30cms from the object.21 year LR veteran > D2 GS 2003 > D3 S 2006 > D3 HSE 2009 > D4 HSE 2013 > D4 HSE 2015 > D5 HSE 2018 > DS HSE R-Dynamic P300e 2021

Then you play the "how far am I really" game when you get a continuous tone...
.... Or is that just me who annoys the wife with that "game"?

That sounds like the "how far can I drive when the range says zero" game. Always a fun one.MY16 D4 Graphite in Loire Blue
