Hi,

I've just bought myself an 02 Primera 1.8 activ. Good car.
It came with aftermarket reversing sensors - home fitted, but seemed
quite well done.
The module is marked/branded "Safespeed.co.uk".
Anyway, they are going off far too much, with frequently a continuous
tone as soon as I put in reverse

The previous owner seemed a bit sheepish when I asked, suggesting that
they might be pointing at the ground, so point them up a bit.
NOT REALLY SO.

Has anybody got any good advice on this or a similar unit ??

Googling didn't help much:

Thanks.

there may be a sensitivity adjuster on the control box, paint or dirt on the
sensors can make them upset. sometimes they just fail, disconnect one at a
time to see if there is an improvement.

Have you tried turning down the sensitivity?

re adjust sensitivity.

I wondered if there might be a sensitivity adjustment.
I looked and have not seen one.
I'll look harder - maybe there's a hole to adjust a pre-set pot.
IS THERE NORMALLY A SENSITIVITY ADJUSTMENT ?

I tried pulling the sensors one at a time and it kept beeping.
I can't remeber if I tried pulling them all at the same time.
I'll try again.

Thanks.

usually there is a tiny hole in the box covered with tape or a sticker.
