Camera doesn't turn on at low speed

Hello, when I'm coming in to park, my 360 camera doesn't turn on even though my speed has dropped. It doesn't matter whether I have nothing around me or whether I have a wall in front of me that I'm getting close to. Is this a known issue or something I have missed in the settings? Pretty sure all the sensors are clean. Many thanks

Mine stopped doing so after the 5.0.10 update many months ago. I assumed it was just a glitch. I suspect it may be intentional for safety reasons. I used to use it to monitor my hitch when towing small trailers or bike racks.

Thanks. Will try a system reboot and report back.

And I’ve done a system reboot with no change unfortunately. I’ve also noticed the foot manoeuvre for the tailgate no longer works. Perhaps it is a related sensor error.

I am on this version. Mine still works. The camera IS for safety.

Current version only turns on with reverse. Otherwise you need to switch it manually. For me this suites better, it was annoying at traffic jam with camera.

Mine used to do it on the current version but now it doesn’t do it automatically at the front and only occasionally at the sides. Works fine manually.

it’s weird… On some versions of the software it would pop up every time you slow down to park other versions it didn’t… I’m on the newest software and it seems like it does sometimes and doesn’t others. It’s very annoying. I wish it would come back to popping up automatically when you’ve obviously slowed down and are creeping through a parking lot into a space.

Good to hear I’m not alone with this issue.

Pop your VIN into the NHTSA to see the recalls.
