I have a 2016 CS and I have them, is it not part of the BLIS and Cross Traffic Warning system ?

No, it was a separate $300 option. Identified by the four little dots in the rear bumper.

For the 2018, they finally combined all the "radars" into one package Safe & Smart.

I have the BLIS w/ Cross Traffic Warning and not the reverse sensors. Just the camera. I would have paid for reverse sensors, but that would have required ordering a car and waiting all summer for it to be delivered.

I bugged me for a long time that I was always just a little bit crooked. I wondered if the guide lines on the back-up camera were a little out of whack (I still think that mine are a little off).

However, I have found that the issue messing up my ability to park correctly was that the rear tires are wider than the front. If the two tires on one side are straight then the two on the other side are way off. So just shoot for the middle...

I always try to park at the end of a row where I can snug up against the curb and have more buffer space for opening doors. However, I have the California Special rims and don't want any curb scuffs so I've been extra particular about parking.

When in doubt, back out and start over...

Never park next to grass or under a tree. If I can't find the end of row with no grass or trees, then I'll go for some open space. If all else fails, I'll look for two cars that both have their passenger doors facing the space I want to use. Less likely that they have passengers with them (especially at work) so less change of a door ding.

I'm speaking on pulling in fotwa4d. Can't see over the hood. Also I used to pick end spots too, but remember it still depends on how close the next person parks to you.

It sucks when I park way off to the side and some idiot still snug up next to me...

Going in forward is trickier with that giant hood. I've started getting used to it. Even when parking forwards I still use the reverse camera to spot check before shutting off the engine.

They want to be able to peep over and see if its a manual or not:frusty:

so you already have the sensors as you have the Cross Traffic, can't understand why no reversing sensors, were they not on all the Premier models?
how much extra was it, and was it part of a package

 

[JKL1031]

Nope. Thought I had it all too. Only blind spot warning. There's two modules on the sides behind the bumoer. Reverse sensors r the four small circles in the bumoer

Just checked on my window sticker


Optional Equipment

Reverse Park Assist 350.00

don't seem to be part of any package ?

 

[GTP]

Reverse Park Assist was always a standalone option. Not part of any package.

Anyone notice the turn signal and the chime cannot work at the same time like if you leave your break up or you have your seat belt off and using your turn signal kind of sad

 

[Budoy]

Does the recaro seats have loops for the seat belts similar to the premium leather seats which prevents the belts from rubbing against your neck?

Anyone have a creaky crack dash when the temp changes or the air/heat is turned on?

That happened in my prior 2016 - nothing like that in the 2018, so I’m assuming something is different with the materials or how the dash components are mater together behind the dash.

how can i find out what gears my car has

 

[x_man586]

I think gear ratio is on the window sticker.
