Front parking sensors
#21
My 2004 XJ (X350) which I've had from new has front and rear park assist sensors, with the front always on at speeds less than 5MPH or some such. It's rare when the fronts give 'false' beeps. Typically, the rare false beeps are from nearby airbrakes. The car has been used in a mix of big city and rural areas. It makes no sense to me why Jag changed the park assist from always on in the X350's to having to be manually enabled on the X351's, and trips me up when I hop in an X351.

I think we have a difference of opinion when the front sensors should come on. On the X350's, they are automatically on when driving forward at roughly 5MPH or less towards an obstruction. In this same situation, the X351 sensors are off, unless you remember to manually reach up and turn them on. I find it annoying to have to remember to turn on park assist in such situations on the X351. Far prefer the X350 method.

I think it is this way due to the amount of sensors on the car. If I was in traffic and it was on, I think the side sensors would pick up cars around me all the time. Where are the sensors on the X350? Are there side sensors?
I think also they might interfere with the blind spot monitors. Does the X350 have blind-spot sensors?

The X350 park assist sensors are in the same locations and have the same coverage as the X351. Only once or twice in ~13 years have I had another car come close enough to set off the front or rear park assist sensors - far too close for comfort and the warnings have been quite welcomed.
The X350's do not have blind spot monitors. I'm not sure how blind spot monitors can interfere with park assist. Different sensors sensing somewhat different needs.

One more note the X351 when the sensors are on the display changes to show what sensors and to what extent each one is triggered.
