C5 Display Screen Problem And Parking Sensors

[slashden]

Hi All

 

I have just bought a C5 2.2HDi Exclusive auto estate 2002. Its a great car but there is a problem with the display screen. After approx 1 hour of driving the screen goes funny. Everything on the screen slides sideways really fast. For the older members here, if you remember TVs with a 'vertical hold' adjustment, it is the same as that, but horizontal instead. If I stop the car, turn off ignition then turn back on it is fine again for a good hour

 

On the parking sensors, is there a way to turn them off as mine are not working, and I don't want to waste time at the garage and look a plonker if they can be turned on (the car didn't come with a manual so still trying to figure out what all the buttons do)

 

 

Any help would be much appreciated.

My C5 is a 2005 - so likely to be different. There's a switch to turn off the parking sensors. On mine it's third from the left and is marked with a P

Hi John

 

I think you are correct, the 2005 model must be different. I don't remember seeing a button with a P on it.

 

Thanks anyway for the reply.

 

I have managed to find someone on ebay selling an owners manual so hopefully that will be here in a couple of days. Now trying to find update for Sat nav without needing another mortgage

 

Cheers

Hi the switch is at the lower end of the dashboard, to the left.
