Beeping parking sensors and flashing Reverse icon at times

[wadi16]

Hi everyone 

I have a 2020 Aygo with reverse camera and rear parking sensors (all factory installed)

Sometimes when I start my car and reverse the parking sensors go off right away and beep about 4 times. During this time a R symbol for reverse flashes on and off on my dashboard. After 4 beeps this stabilises and i can reverse.

Other times I engage reverse and it beeps once (to show sensors are working i assume), the R symbol for reverse shows solid (no flashing) and i can reverse without beeping. 

Why doe the R flashing and 4 beeps happen sometimes but not others? Is this normal? Its almost like the car isn't ready to reverse?

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Our ExCite behaves perfectly when we engage Reverse but ours is Manual & yours as descipted is Auto so wait for an Auto Expert or visit your Dealer

My X shift does this occasionally, and two previous Aygos as well, all automatics. Usually occurs when I'm trying to select reverse, although I get the flashing N. Since I've had no other problems, and the garage techs never picked anything up, I just get on with it.

My 2006 had reversing sensors and, if rainwater had settled on the sensors while the car was parked, the sensors would get a bit over excited I went into reverse - there would be a lot of beeps.
