Forgive what may be a ridiculous question, but is there a way to disable the rear parking assist / auto-brake when a hitch-mount bike rack is installed?

I drove with mine today and couldn’t get it to stop interfering in reverse. I had every driver assist option turned off, and also tried tow / haul mode. Interestingly, this didn’t happen with my trailer hooked up last weekend.

Surely, this can be disabled . . .
 
You can turn off the parking support brake with button to the left of the steering column. It has an icon of a car with a traffic cone behind it and a star above the cone.
Of course it’s that simple. Lol. Thank you !

For me - I need to turn intuitive parking assist off on the main menu. Turning it off via the button to the left of the steering wheel only prevents braking.

Edit -came out this morning and it was auto-braking even with all of this turned off and the Parking Assist off. Frustrating.

Has anyone found a solution to this? I can’t even back out of my driveway. Ridiculous.
This was the answer that worked for me:

"You can turn off the parking support brake with button to the left of the steering column. It has an icon of a car with a traffic cone behind it and a star above the cone."

Thank you so much! That worked!
 
Parking support brake button worked to stop the auto break, but the beeping obstacle alert from the back end keeps going off while I'm reversing down my driveway is driving me nuts, until I'm off the reverse gear. Also the side mirrors don't auto tilt down as I back up anymore, anyone have solutions for the last two items?

Not sure how to disable the backup sensors. I expect there's a setting somewhere in the infotainment to do that. To get your mirrors to tilt down in reverse make sure that either the L or R mirror button on the driver's door has been pressed and has a green dot on it. I usually keep my R mirror with the green dot, that way if I touch the arrows on the driver's door the right outside mirror moves which I don't mind as much as the left mirror moving. To be honest though, I never accidentally touch the arrows on the door.
