Ouch. What year and model do you have?

 

2024 LS

 

The sensor may not pick up a pillar that was to the side.

 

So true what speedandstyle said.

Also here is how to turn it back on if it is off.

 

I did a little test with mine and a plastic safety bollard. If the object is over 18 inches from the corner of the bumper the sensor does not go off. I could see it in the camera and the side mirror but got no alert. If I had then turned into it I would have hit it. So objects 18 inches and closer it picks up. This was a bright orange bollard in daylight so it had great contrast. I don't know what tech the sensors use but if the contrast was low it could miss it there too.

Hard to tell, but from your photo, it looks like you don't have the Park Assist feature which would have the sensors, two of three shown:

I don't know what tech the sensors use

Ultrasonic sonar.

I did check a different back up location, with a car in the center and my sensors did not pick it up.

Thank you I will certainly do that. So how was it turned off?

I did look at my bumper yesterday after work and saw that you are correct. I do not have tose sensors. So I guess my problem is the sound is not on my backup camera??? I did back up to a wall and there was no sound as I got pretty darn close. I don't know what to think at this point. its been 5 days now.
Maybe hit the factory reset???

 

If you don't have the sensors you won't get sound, the sound comes from the sensors.

 

If there aren't those little button like sensors in your rear bumper then it has no sensors. It was not standard on the LS, it was part of the optional "Driver Confidence Package".

 

Can I get the "driver confidence package" installed

 

I doubt it. They build it into the vehicle in the Korean factory. If it can be added it would be expensive. There might be aftermarket options.

 

The Driver Confidence Package is one integrated electronics and sensors bundle for the Rear Park Assist, Rear Cross Traffic Alert, Lane Change Alert and Side Blind Zone Alert which needed to have been done on the assembly line.

A Chevy dealer can install an aftermarket solution. Or refer you to a local partner, usually a shop that specializes in high-end audio, hidden radar/laser detection and other aftermarket tech.

Expect to spend a few hundred dollars for your rear assist beeps. The four sensors will be uglier than the factory ones, even when color matched, for extra $$, of course.

I'm done.

 

thank you for all your help. you gave me food for thought. I really do love my Trax.
But in order to get the package I want, maybe I might have to trade for another.

 

Too bad you didn't realize that to start with.

 

right?? It's my own fault to be honest. I went to the dealership with a migraine.

 

I bet.

 

That's why all prospective Trax buyers should go Chevy's Trax page, click "Specs" at the top, which would lead you to this page. You can see all the details of the packages, accessories, etc. that the Trax comes with and also enter in the drop down menus which models you want to compare it with to see what model comes with what packages, etc..
