Can anybody tell me how to disable the rear backup so that the brakes don't slam on hard when I'm backing up with the bike rack? Is there a way to disable sensors when traveling with the bike on the back? Any help would be much appreciated!

On the dash there's a button right under your infotainment screen. I had to do this several times, the braking is violent if you forget to turn it off when the bike rack is on.

There is a setting in the infotainment screen that turns off the Emergency Automatic Rear Braking System.
