Now I'm in my new 2022 and it only picks up those front curbs sometimes. Like it thinks they are low enough not to hit the splitter. Well, it's wrong. Plenty of times it just doesn't detect what would be a collision.

So question is, is that front detector adjustable at all to pick up some shorter? Probably only needs a half inch maybe. As it is when parking front-in it just doesn't work so well. Can't trust it.

Thoughts?
It's not really meant to detect stuff at the splitter level, more so the bumper level where it's mounted. Why not just use the camera system to make sure you don't bang the splitter?
Of course I do use the camera. However the question arose because the 2018 I had DID detect it all the time and the red on the parking camera and the chime was helpful. So for me, this is a change in behavior, which prompted the question.
It's pure convenience of course but I did like it.
