Default Parking Aid malfunction Error, now what?

I just got this parking aid malfunction error. Is there a simple reset? I don't want to take it to the dealer if there is a simple reset somewhere in the menu?

Where are you located? We in the US dont have the auto parking. Perhaps one of the sensors or cameras is dirty?

Perhaps one of the sensor wires came unplugged.

It's best to take it to the dealer.

I've been noticing a number of gremlins cropping up and dropped the car at the dealer this morning for 1) Check Engine Light on, 2) rear parking aid sporadically flatlining when nothing is there, 3) multiple issues with car not starting and needing to put the fob on the center console to start, 4) Outdoor temp gauge shows 135 degrees when it's only 75, 5) constant malfunction of start/stop function (actually couldn't care about this one, but still), 6) google maps traffic simply not showing on certain stretches of I-95.

Hoping that the fault codes show up when they run the diagnostic.

I got the same error about 3 weeks ago. Not knowing what it meant, I checked the manual and it said to take it to the dealer right away. I did notice that the parking sensors were greyed out in the MMI and there were no audible tones. The cameras all worked, just not the sensors.

Took it to the dealer and it was a simple firmware update. Had it done in about 30 minutes.

Not all fault codes are saved. I had recently AdBlue fault, initially I thought that I have to top it at last, have driven 14000 km already on single AdBlue tank, but it disappeared on next start. Couple days ago run full OBDII test, only one error appeared, some "predictive route data - signal error", but no AdBlue faults. As my first oil change and service visit is coming @30,000 km, will ask service guys how much AdBlue they topped, otherwise have no clue, how much I can do with one tank.
