How often has your parking sensor malfunctioned due to it being frozen?
It's happened to me twice with the temp below -4.This morning it was -6 and put it into reverse and got a continuous tone which didn't clear until I put it into D.
I presume this is the parking sensor causing this?
Full Version: Parking Sensor
it is probably frost covering the sensor !
Frost, or just the general accumulated muck on the back of the car this weather.

As already mentioned, did you take a few seconds to just look at the sensors and make sure they are clean?
It must have been a build up of frost on the rear sensors
sensors are definitely affected by frost and by mud/road grime.
Yep. Technically they are doing their job if they are detecting frozen water...
Says in the Manual. (The first entry in fact):
"Certain vehicle conditions and the surrounding environment may effect the ability of the sensor to correctly detect obstacles. Particular instances where this may occur are listed below.
* There is dirt, snow or ice on the sensor."
Lol - just spotted this on CL too.
