How to Enable and Disable Parking Sensors on the Opel/Vauxhall Astra L

Model: Vauxhall Astra Astra L - Years 2021-2026
Part: Parking sensors

The video shows how to enable or disable the parking sensors on an Opel/Vauxhall Astra L. The issue: when you put the car in reverse, a screen appears stating "parking sensors disabled", but there is no direct button to reactivate them. In this situation, you cannot access the menu. The solution: exit the reverse screen (put it in Park), return to the main screen (home), and press the "Auto" button (car icon). This gives access to the advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS). Here you will find various options; at the bottom, there is the "Close Proximity Obstacle Detection" option. By selecting it, the sensors are activated or deactivated (depending on their current state). Once activated, when you put the car in reverse, the beeping sounds will be heard again. The YouTuber emphasises that they wasted time searching for this information as it is not clearly documented.
