Front Parking sensors

Does the TLX (Elite/Advanced) have front parking sensors where you can tell how close you are to a high curb, wall in a parking garage etc.

From GOOGLING "curb feelers"

Curb feelers or curb finders are springs or wires installed on a vehicle which act as "whiskers" to warn drivers that they are too close to the curb or other obstruction.

The devices are fitted low on the body, close to the wheels. As the vehicle approaches the curb, the protruding 'feelers' act as whiskers and scrape against the curb, making a noise and alerting the driver in time to avoid damaging the wheels or hubcaps. The feelers are manufactured to be flexible and do not easily break.

The outside rearview mirror "tilt down" feature should help with locating the curb.

Love that on the TLX, it's not just right passenger-side, but the driver side as well!
