Will try it again.
Yep. If the PDC light is on, both the front and rear sensors are active, even if the display is showing the camera video, and even if the car is in reverse.

When I back out of the garage and the camera & PDC are on, as the car nears the right edge of the garage door opening, first the rear sensor causes a sound warning from the right-rear speakers and then the front sensor triggers the sound from the right front speakers. Having the sensors trigger a spatially correlated warning is really a brilliant idea.

Glad your sensors seem to be politically correct and not discriminating over anyone's ethnicity, although those really "skinny " poles might be a problem (note no capital "P").
