XC90 Rear Parking Sensors and Fixed towbars

Hello, does anyone have an XC90 with a fixed towbar? and does it cause problems with the rear parking sensors? ... I have inquired with my service department who "didnt know", I also had a discussion with Witter and Brink who suggested that a fixed bar would give false triggers. So can any owner comment? Thanks for any help :natur008:

If I leave my detachable on after unhitching it doesn't seem to bother them. Cant see why fixed would be any different but then im sure theres someone who has a fixed somewhere on here

I also have detachable Brink tow bar. When it is left in position - sometimes for a couple of weeks or so lately there has been no effect upon the parking sensors. I cannot see that a fixed tow bar should make any difference the tow ball projection behind the bumpers should be the same. Frank

Volvo towbar and Volvo parking sensors no problem obviously .. introduce cost cutting and yes you get problems ...

Thanks for the prompt reply's guys. Robin:natur008:

I had an XC90 with fixed towbar for 3 1/2 years & never had a problem with the sensors. It always went to a continuous bleep about 4" before you hit anything. My XC60 is equally good, if anything gives a bit more safety margin.

Many thanks to all who took the time to reply. :natur008:
