More safety feature complaints

[kaliforniaman]

On trash day, everyone puts the cans out away from the curb, and I can’t really get out of the driveway and turn in the street, without pushing them lightly. I also do this frequently with my own safety cones, used for my own reserved parking. With my 99’ I would just push ‘em back enough to get out. On the 24’ the buzzer goes off and it locks up when I do this. Absolutely frustrating!
The other thing I find difficult is the door window ledge is higher (or I sit lower), and I can’t really see parking space lines without opening the door. Again, this causes the transmission to disengage and park.
Anyone else irritated by this? Can either of these safety features be disabled?

As far as the parking space lines, how about a convex mirror?

for the driving with the door open to get a good look at something after it engages press the parking release and it will let you do It. it's annoying that you have to take an extra step but it wont reengage it again on you after you release it.

I think you can switch off park brake assist in the dash settings. I don't know if it stays off after every engine cycle tho. Does tow mode turn it off? You could try that.

I think you can just disable the proximity sensors in the MID. Not sure if it turns back on when you restart the vehicle though.

I have tried turning off those settings?
