The car doesn't know when you're parking (until you push the button)!
I've been in many many cars with parking sensors both front and rear and none of them have ever needed turning on manually. They do go off when you get too close to anything people included, that's the whole point of them. I's not just parking you need them it general maneuvering as well. I was in a mini cab the other day and both of his we going off at the same time telling him he was too close to the guy in front and the guy behind was too close as well.

As the sensors don't go off until about 3 feet from something I never want to be that close to a car at traffic lights anyway, why would you need to be?

Do either of you have PDC?
