    A friend of mine just got a 05 continental gt and the parking sensors are constantly going off! and I mean ALL THE TIME! sitting at a red light and someone walks in front of the car, someone pulls up behind me etc.,
    I didn't look at the manual as I delivered the car before doing so but is there a way to adjust the senstivity of the sensors? or any advice in general is greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

    Not sure, but in South Fla, most don't stop for red lights. That is one possible solution. Hope it helps! ;) :D :D

    My sensors seem to go off appropriately, actually less than my Escalade. BUT, my tire pressure warning goes off every trip after 5 miles. Been to dealer, and they cannot figure out why. They say it could be the wheels ( chromed OEM)... wish I could bypass it.

    I ended up just calling our local Bentley dealership and the service manager said to me that its one of the major complaints owners had and only recentley(2009 models) can anyone do anything about it, and really then they can only shut off the FRONT sensors only!
    So it's either ON or OFF no in-between, and to top that off it re-sets everytime you turn the car off so before you can go anywhere you'll have to turn off your P.D.C. but hey it's a small price to pay to drive the car, especially my friends 05! hands down the NICEST looking continental gt i've EVER seen!
    Black on black Mulliner, with 22" black HRE'S and Mansory body kit with mansory cat-back exhaust, sounds and looks like the sexiest Bentley i've ever had the pleasure of driving.

    I just got word that Derek Bell will be on the track at Daytona with the new Continental gt Supersport on the 13th,14th and 15th of November. It is a closed event to the public but you can register at "italiancarsatdaytona.com". as a spectator or an entrant I got to track this car two weeks ago. It is a monster and in the hands of Derek Bell the car will become
    a threat to the Ferraris on the track. Make it if you can. The car is everything it is supposed to be and more.

    The parking sensors go off due to the coils in the car. The coils have some type of metal in them that made the sensors go off. I had mine replaced under the campaign and no more beeps. Thank God
