Parking sensor symbols / buttons explained?

[LondonLad]

What do the two buttons means / do? Top one is to turn off auto activation of parking sensors if close to an object.
Second button - couldn’t figure out? Turn sound off with parking sensors? Thanks

Second one is to mute the bleeping

1st one is for Automatic enable

Just to be precise.
Top one allows to deactivate AUTOMATIC BRAKING by PDC/PLA.
Bottom one deactivates audio on PDC.

There was a fella asking why his van braked by itself going down his steep drive the other day. Is it the parking sensors doing this, not the radar as we previously assumed?

 

[Robert]

Depending on circumstances and actual system being active/used at the time.
I am not familiar with this incident.
Have you got a link?

Not of much use, but...

Why car brakes by itself when I’m leaving drive way, I hate it when it’s happens ??? Please help to turn this off

If he's reversed to turn around at the top of his drive, the PDC will be active going forwards until whatever speed it turns off at. My front sensors have picked up the road as it levels out, but it hasn't braked. I guess this is a T6.1 thing and all part of the same system that stops you reversing out of a parking space when there is a vehicle driving passed?
