2005 Nissan Pathfinder Rear Parking Sensors

Hi

My new UK 2005 Pathfinder came with free rear parking sensors but no
obvious way to turn them off.

Just wondering what happens when towing a caravan...............constant
bleep ?

Anybody experienced / resolved this problem?

Not sure I like them any way so perhaps one option is to disconnect them
somehow or is there a simpler way to switch them off as and when required.


Thanks in advance

Didn't you get a manual with it?

For a new car I'd ask my dealer first ... you might not get exactly the
answer you need from usenet.

Hi Paul

Nothing came with it, I suspect it's a third party option rather than a
Nissan accessory, will give them a ring tomorrow.

If it is anything like the ones on a Discovery they only work when reverse
gear is selected. Discos have a swithch on the dash to turn them off as
well.

Most only work when reverse gear is selected. Many newer ones adapt to a
trailer without a switch although some do, or did, fit an off switch.
Just drive the thing and see how it works.
