i just bought a 2010 sh-awd. love the car! it appears to have sensors in the front bumper for sensing parking distance, but i can find nothing in the owners manual that indicates the car is equipped, and there is no alarm in the car when i pull close to an object. i do have a backup camera. anyone know whats up w that? why would the car have the round sensors in the front bumper? there are two smaller circles in the center & one large circle on the passenger side. thanks!

Those aren't parking sensors. The middle two are for the license plate and the passenger side one is for towing purposes. All the 2009-2011 bumpers have that as seen below:

thanks nanos. in photos i found online, many did have them, but i found some TL pics that didnt show them. then i read some posts in this forum that people had added aftermarket sensors. so i just wasnt sure. i knew someone in this forum would know. tx for the info! and i will add that acura did a great job dressing up what are normally some ugly bolt holes.
