What is the reason why the Lavida radar makes a long beep and then stops responding?

It may be due to sensor malfunction or poor internal contact. Definition of reversing radar: Reversing radar, also known as "reverse anti-collision radar" or "parking assist device". Components of reversing radar: Mainly consists of ultrasonic sensors, controller and display unit. Function of reversing radar: The reversing radar is a safety assistance device when parking or reversing a car. It can inform the driver of surrounding obstacles through sound or more intuitive display, eliminating the trouble caused by the driver's need to look around when parking, reversing and starting the vehicle, and helping the driver eliminate blind spots and blurred vision defects.
My Lavida's radar also just emits a continuous beep and then stops working, which is really frustrating. It's likely that the radar sensor is blocked by dirt, like mud splashed up when I park or bird droppings sticking to it, causing signal interruption and directly triggering the alarm. It could also be due to loose wiring connections or water ingress causing a short circuit, especially common during the rainy season. A blown fuse might also cause the system to crash, so it's necessary to check if the corresponding component in the fuse box has melted. This kind of malfunction not only affects parking safety but also increases the risk of accidents when reversing. I suggest first trying to clean the sensor with a damp cloth to see if it can be restored. If that doesn't work, don't force the issue with the wiring—it's better to drive to a professional shop to check the control module or replace the sensor. During regular maintenance, remember to clean the sensors periodically; don't wait until the problem becomes severe to take action, as delaying small issues can lead to bigger problems. Safety first—don't drive with a faulty system.
