Default Proximity Sensors VERY Sensitive

Does anyone find that their proximity sensors are overly sensitive? They seem to go off constantly when I'm backing out of my driveway or garage. It seems strange because my Range Rover has them and they don't seem nearly as touchy. I've had to hit the button to shut them off occasionally even when I put the car in drive and start to pull away. Almost like it's stuck.

Thoughts?

Yes. They were adjusted at my first service and improved a lot.

Mine work really well. Anything more than the height of a low curb will set them off - basically, anything that would scrape the front bumper. Maybe yours need adjustment...

Thank you! I wasn't aware they were adjustable. I'll have them checked.

I probably should have said "fixed" but I think it was only an adjustment
