My old Almera had a reverse sensor which I found really useful. I can't understand the camera version at all. I thought all modern cars came with park assist sensors - obviously not! And there's no guide to the camera in the handbook.

QQ 2013 360. I thought all cars did too. Can't find it anywhere and doesn't say in the handbook.

Well the parking beeper has been known to fail.

Surely you can tell whether your car has parking sensors by seeing if the sensors are on the rear bumper?

The catalogue for 2013 lists "Ultrasonic rear park system (RPS)" as being standard from Acenta grade upwards BUT the 360 has "Around View Monitor 360° bird-view parking assist²" and the footnote says "2 - in lieu of RPS" - so that confirms your car doesn't have them.

The handbook is actually VERY detailed when it comes to the reverse camera and 360 cameras scenarios.

In my copy it's in Chapter 4 - reversing camera on pages 4-2 to 4-3 and the Around View Monitor on pages 4-4 right through to page 4-11. Copy attached.

No, I can't tell as I have no clue what they look like!! there's no sound (sonic) so am assuming they're not there. Much easier with them than having to squint at a small screen

Sensors are small circular discs usually found in the bumper - but we've now confirmed your spec doesn't have them anyway
