Default 2021 Parking Sensors too sensitive?

Seems like my parking sensors are extremely sensitive. In stop and go city traffic they are always being set off, causing the nav to switch to the camera view constantly.

Any way to adjust this?

You can disable the sensors, their is a button on the left side ( Button closest to you ) directly across from the teh #1 garage door button .

Same issue with mine. They randomly go off and I don't know if it's even possible to make a warranty claim on something that's not always reproducible. Would be great to hear from someone that's actually had them serviced or replaced.

Common. My 2016 sensors go off at random times in traffic.

Do a quick google search but certain makes, like DODGE and FORD, set off the Porsche sensors for some reason. Happened to me today when pulling up to a Charger. It's normal.

Happens a lot when in line for a drive-through, which is annoying, as other drivers expect you to close the gap.
Solution? Shift to "park".

Or just tap the parking sensor button on the upper/roof console to silence them while you’re in that situation.
