how to disable back up sensor

[Stalactically Gupid]

Not sure if I understand but in the owner's manual , one has to turn off RCTA, as well as parking support. See bottom of image. I did this with my rack and no issue.

I saw on Reddit this morning another user posted that the tow/haul button will disable the sensors.

And also ruin your gas mileage, if you care. It disables the hybrid features of the engine turning off and holds higher RPMS.

I can confirm that the tow/haul button DOES NOT turn off the sensors. Tried it and it doesn't work.

This is probably a dumb question but Im going to ask it anyway. I just installed a hitch bike rack for my mountain bikes but the back up sensor keeps giving a warning and then slams on the brakes. Not ideal as I have the rack on year round. Tried to follow the manual to disable with no success. I read that if a 7 pin trailer plug is inserted it prevents the warnings. Maybe the final solution. I would appreciate any ideas or thoughts.

Love this idea - will try this AM. Although not ideal I’ve tried every other idea in this thread including the Tow/Haul button, trailer brake button combined w/ volume on display, Carista (didn’t have option for back up sensor)…. Wrote letter but doubt it’ll get to anyone helpful.

Yes. I think using the tow/haul button is the way to go. Mine hasn’t come in yet, but I also cycle and will need to figure this out as well. I’ll be asking the dealership what the recommend.

Same. Glad I came across this thread. I would have been having a f&king meltdown!

Has anyone actually gotten one of those trailer wiring plugs and been successful with avoiding the auto-brake and annoying sounds?

turn off 3 items: Intuitive Parking Assist in the DID, Rear Cross Traffic alert in the DID, and then Rear Parking Assist which is the button near the fuel door release button, left of steering wheel.
When all three of these are off, you’ll have no alerts. You’ll have no sudden breaking stops and you can carry your bike anywhere you want.
One thing to know once you’re in drive moving forward, you can turn rear parking assist back on to clear the message on the DID. (Button by fuel door release)

Maybe I’m Galatically Stupid but what is the DID?

I achieved this without turning off Rear Cross Traffic Alert. Just the parking assist in the DID and the physical button on the left.

If you only do the physical button, the cruiser will still yell at you. If you only do the setting you get auto-braked.

The driver information display, aka the settings in the dash. (Not the settings on the Infotainment display)

You’d think… but I just tried that this weekend and that didn’t work for me - I had to manually disable multiple sensors/options, and will try to figure out which one(s) exactly clear the beeping. The parking button on the left side of the steering wheel seems to be the main one that stops breaking.

 

[BigMF]

Yeah but then you have to dismiss this warning every time you start the truck:

Still, better than the emergency braking due having the bike rack attached. This is in the top 5 gripes I have on the new generation.

This thread has some good info as well: HELP! How do you disable safety features

And this item might help, it's mentioned in that thread:

Amazon.com

The 7 pin to 4 pin adapter from Amazon does NOT help this. I tried today, and tow haul button didn’t work - still had to turn off the parking sensor to avoid the auto-braking.

Here is a link I found that shows you how to disable the alarm after disabling the parking sensor on your left hand side of your steering wheel.
