I have looked for this but am not finding a clear answer which might just be because I don’t fully understand how some of the features on the Ascent work yet?
My last two cars have been big vehicles and both had parking sensors on the front and rear both. I like and use(d) them a lot more than I thought I would simply because I couldn’t see over the hood of either vehicle when inching into a parking spot or my own garage. Both vehicles had backup cameras which are helpful but I really have gotten used to the audible chirp as a guideline, as well. I know the Ascent has rear collision avoidance but I am pretty sure I saw somewhere that it will NOT have an audible chirping front parking sensor and instead just has the collision avoidance braking in the front, too? I assume that means it won’t LET me run into anything? Even on the corners? What if I *want* to inch more closely than it wants me to? Anyone with experience have answers? The only two Ascents I have been in were both Limited and we ordered a Touring so I didn’t get to see/experience all bells and whistles yet, like the front facing camera. Please advise if you can shed some light and thanks in advance.
