Peugeot was founded in 1810, making it the oldest car manufacturer in the world. However, far from remaining stuck in the past, the brand has an eye for shaping the future, as it proved when it introduced the LVL - Peugeot's first electric car - in 1941. More recently, Peugeot merged with Fiat Chrysler to create Stellantis in 2021, a parent company that includes other successful car brands such as Citroen, Jeep, Maserati and Alfa Romeo. That same year, Peugeot won several awards at the CarWow Car of the Year Awards, one of which was the prestigious Manufacturer Award.

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.
