Parking Sensors silent

Hi everyone, new here and had a QQ for 4 weeks.

I have 3 questions as a newbie please? I have searched but not seen definitive answers

#1 - I have a 2018 facelift with surround cameras and parking sensors. Cameras work fine but I have never heard the parking sensors beep. can see a colour display on the instrument console telling me I’m close to an object but no sound so rely on cameras and colours. I do hear a beep IF something walks in view of the cameras but thats a single longer beep. No amount of searching helped me here. (sorry will add there is also no option for this in the menu as i have seen in the manual)

#2 - Is there any way to get the doors to lock automatically - my search says no but asking just in case someone has found something.

#3 - the park assist is not very good - it has trouble detecting kerbs for me so have to stop to auto-reversing as it has to then be done manually - is this as expected as never had this issue on my previous BMW one. again not seen this as a topic.

Cheers

Kamal

Did you disabled (accidentally) the parking sensor button on the lower part of the dashboard (just above the fuel and bonnet levers)?

Only with an aftermarket module. Due to new European legislation I think. Search on AliExpress

The PA is more a gadget imho. You are quicker parked manually.
