I just find it crazy for a car that has all these safety features it does not let you know if you are going to hit the car or thing behind you when you are reversing.

Furthermore. I don’t understand why the middle dash has buttons that you can press in. But have no icon or functions when you press them. Is this normal?

Again thankyou
Those would be the buttons for features on the higher spec models.

Its just because you purchased a lower trim level... that's why you haven't got parking sensors. There's plenty of cars out there that don't having parking sensors as standard, so you either have to add them as an additional option & pay for fitting, or buy a higher spec model that has them as standard (but that higher spec model will probably be more expensive).

Those buttons are blank ones. On higher spec models, those buttons would actually do something if you pressed them. On your car, as it has less features, those buttons are of no use.
