Default Parking Sensors in Traffic

Tried to search but did not find anything (although I swear Ive seen something in the forums). Lately in my S5 Prestige I have been getting the front parking sensors triggered while driving/moving especially in traffic. I understand that it may think there is an object in front (car not moving) but this had never happened in 13K miles. Sometimes the car in front was a couple of car lengths ahead and it would still go off. Im wondering if the little sensors in the grille need to be adjusted (they seem very easy to move around - like held by friction only in between the slats)... Very annoying especially when it kicks off apple play and goes to the main menu.

Thoughts?

You may have dirt or something on the sensor. Give it a proper clean and see if it still happens. You can also turn off the automatic activation in the settings and then they only activate if you put the car in reverse or press the parking button on the dash. I generally turn the automatic activation off as I find it more annoying than helpful.
