But i cannot find how you switch them on manually

If you look very, very closely and the sun is in the correct position in the sky, you'll see a button next to the touchscreen with a 'P'. This switches on the front sensors (assuming you haven't already used it to deactivate it to automatically activate it when moving below 10mph).

Don't let on though - this is top secret.

I'm not sure why LR chose to not have automatic front sensors. My other car (MB C-Class) never gives unwanted beeps (in traffic for example), it uses a light system up until you get seriously close (within a foot) at which point the beeps start.

Luckily the front visibility is pretty good, so not a big deal (as long as brain is engaged).
