Had my RX 400h for 48hours and I have 2 issues :
Front parking sensor beeping continuously for no reason :duh: .
Main issue became apparent ,when I tried to park on the hill in a residential area ( 8%-10% gradient ), with the gear in D ,the car rolled back ( car was pointing uphill) when I taken my foot off the accelerator .to apply the brake .
Made a 3 point turn so the car was parked, facing downhill ,tried to manoeuvre with the gear in R ,the car rolled forward when I taken my foot off the accelerator .
I am baffled ,I read the owners manual ( 450 pages) and I cant find any reference to hill start.
Question :
Is this a problem ?
Or
They all do this Sir!
For the past 20 years I had automatics ( Mercedes ) so I figured out by now how to park a car on a hill , on a normal auto weather in D or R when you are on a gradient the gear "holds" the car
The car is going back to the dealer tomorrow , to have the parking sensors fixed and the second problem debated. If any of you chaps can advice I much appreciated .
I like the car and ticks all my requirements , but the issue with the hill parking is unnerving .
