Parking sensors covered in snow causing annoying messages

[BMM123]

We've had a fair bit of snow lately,
While driving my sensors keep getting covered in snow and I'm getting very annoying warnings about the systems going offline, I keep clearing them but they keep flashing. These warnings are a distraction while driving.... are any of you having the same issues

This has been a problem with all of my Toyotas with these sensors. The best way to stop it is to turn them off during a drive through a snow storm.

BTW - you will have to turn them off if you go through a car wash too. If you don't, they light up your dashboard like a Christmas tree and in a worst case event, can apply the brakes if they sense the brush in front of the car. That never happened to me but I've always been worried it might someday.

Most vehicles with "safety sensors" go wacko when covered in snow, dirt and some have issues with morining dew...

I just wish I could clear it without turning everything off, even if I had to clear it the next drive when I started it again

Yes. Happened to me this week as well. Pretty much count on losing all the adaptive features in heavy snow or ice. I will be cutting off the Park assist next time for sure

This will help….

It happened to me once when it was brand new in a snow storm. Otherwise, lately its been covered slightly and havent had it go off since that first trip.
