Finally picked up my new Evoque yesterday - a standard Dynamic. It's quite a big change from my TT (replaced due to impending baby) but it's definitely remarkable how well it drives - I'm not missing the TT as much as I thought I would in that respect.
Where the difference is notable however is parking at work. It's a typical, badly designed 1970s car park with tight spaces made all the worse by the presence of large concrete pillars - it's not uncommon to see a parking related mishap in there.
Basically, the Evoque's the first car I've owned with parking sensors and I want to make sure my expectations of them are correct. A couple of questions:
Thanks!

Basically, the Evoque's the first car I've owned with parking sensors and I want to make sure my expectations of them are correct. A couple of questions:
- If I select reverse and then go back to first gear, do the front sensors remain on? This seems to be the case but I just want to make sure.
- Can I turn the front sensors on manually without having to select reverse first?
- Are the sensors only right at the front and back of the car? For example, if I swing too close to an object with the front wheel arch for example, is the car going to let me know or not?
Thanks!
