New fault for me this morning. When parking the camera shows red warning as it should as it gets closer to my garage back wall . However no bleeping from sensors sometimes during the whole parking manoeuvre. Anyone come across this ?

Another Lotus quirk and feature apparently. On my 2nd dealer test drive when at a stop, the car's parking sensors would be beep one time for no reason. It did it 3 separate times whether in traffic or not.
Backup alert not beeping is much more worrisome.

My E class has 360 sensors and will beep if others drive too close to me at low speeds, or even if i have stopped. Maybe similar?

I thought/hoped so too at first because was in traffic. Then it did it twice when no one was around...only when at stop.

my beeping tone gets turned off, as you're reversing the top right icon on the camera display is the sound, press it. Mine turns itself off regularly.

The red warning lines are intermittent at the moment as are the availability of the bleeps . No idea why will add to the list for B&C. Drove the car for the first time in driving rain today as a matter of interest. Scary on sport suspension and Cup2’s!

Common fault is front number plate position. If positioned a little too high, it will interfere with the sensors. I had this when putting a private plate on the car, and after fitting a smaller front plate, the issue disappeared.
