And for the next problem, Parking Sensors

Should these always be enabled?

If I select R, the sensors come on and the rear camera is enabled. All good. However, if I've gone straight from P to D, driven about a bit and then gone to park somewhere without needing R, then the sensors do not activate i.e. I am in danger of nosing the car into the stately pile. I seem to remember in my previous car that they came on automatically when you were doing a certain speed and approached a potential obstacle. 2019 Range Rover P400e

Early D3/RRS had the "Auto-on" for the front sensors.

Later models, and all FFRR needs Reverse to be selected first to switch the sensors on.

Almost found that out the hard way

It's because you wouldn't want them coming on at low speed if off roading... they would never shut up down a tight lane.... Pete

They don't shut up in stop-start traffic either

Need switched off all the time

If I'm parking up without going into reverse, I just press the switch for the parking sensors and they work without having to engage reverse first.
It's perfect for parking without hassle or potentially crashing into cars / obstacles.

That's what I have noticed too! Thanks for all the replies, will have to get used to it. On the previous car (not a LR) they came on at low speeds but switched off automatically when stationary.

PS: Mikey, do you have a white D3? There's one with a very relevant (to you) plate parked in the car park at Edinburgh airport this week. 2019 Range Rover P400e
