This question is directly to those with 2017 MDX Advance models, as only those have the Parking Sensors.
We have a 2017 MDX Sport Hybrid TECH that I had dealer installed Front & Rear Parking Sensors.
Is there a way to adjust the Front Parking Sensors sensitivity?
We have a steep driveway and every time I head out, the front end dips a bit and the front sensors goes off when it sees the concrete.
It's super sensitive! Even when someone walks in-front of my car a few feet away, front sensors goes off.

My Lexus GS have a feature to adjust Parking Sensors sensitivity in the infotainment system.
I don't see anything in the MDX Settings to make this change...or am I missing something?

Don't you want the sensors to go off when someone walks in front of you?
Mine also go off to on my street which is steep when turning on to the less steep street. I don't think there are any adjustments, but personally I would not want to miss a potential scenario of running into something versus not going off when I go down my street.

I guess it's better that it's super sensitive then not. I'm used to my Lexus front sensor setting on nearest mark of sensitivity. Too bad the Acura doesn't allow this.

Are the front sensors always on and working?

jdpdata

Yes, always on.
On my Lexus GS I can adjust the sensitivity. Nothing can be adjusted in the MDX 😏

Opps..I stand corrected. There is a button on dash to turn off Parking Sensors.
But that's not what I want to do. I just want to adjust sensitivity.

You cannot adjust sensitivity it’s imposible
