Parking sensors in winter
Interested whether people have experienced the front parking sensors go off in the winter time because ice has covered them. It finally snowed here in MD and noticed that at random times at slow speeds then parking sensors would turn on and think that something was in front of the car when nothing was. Not a big deal as one can just press the button to turn it off. But annoying. I was say the entire front was covered with ice and snow today.

I'd rather they went off when covered with snow to remind me that they need cleaning, than bump into something because I hadn't noticed they were covered over.

Agreed. A couple of times it would go off when you could at least fit another car between me and the one in front. I didn't mind just pressing the P button to switch it off.

My front parking sensors don't turn on automatically during normal driving... For my front sensors to activate I need to either: 1. Have the car in reverse. 2: Have had the car in reverse and not traveled over 10 (or 15) mph. 3. Have pressed the parking button.
I've actually wondered how to change the setting so the front sensors would automatically activate when approaching something too closely during normal driving for when you do go to park, but this would be a good reason to not want that feature as well...

Waxing sensors before and/or during winter time reduces number of false beeps quite noticeably - even if wax has no way to cure properly due to cold temps...
