Compare Hyundai parking sensor fitting or repair quotes from specialist garages

Hyundai was the first car maker to mass-produce a hydrogen-powered vehicle called the ix35 Fuel Cell. This car isn't the only interesting thing it has been involved in making - in partnership with the makers of the hit TV series The Walking Dead, Hyundai has also created several futuristic Zombie Survival Machines. The brand owns the world's biggest automobile manufacturing facility, covering a staggering 3.1 square miles and producing over 1.6 million cars yearly in Ulsan, South Korea.

There are two types of parking sensors. Ultrasonic sensors emit high-frequency sound waves that bounce off objects, allowing the receiver to calculate how far away they are. Electromagnetic sensors work by creating an electromagnetic field around the vehicle and monitoring it for any disturbances. Both systems allow you to park more quickly and safely and give you greater confidence during difficult manoeuvres.

The most common reasons for parking sensor failure are bad wiring, dirt and debris, and a malfunctioning sensor. A specialist technician can advise you whether you need a parking sensor repair or entirely new parking sensors fitted.

Although some older cars do not come with parking sensors, most makes and models allow them to be installed. You could even install a parking sensor and camera to give you extra awareness of your surroundings.
