Hi, I have a 2025 ORP and just installed a hitch mounted bike rack. When I attempted to back up, the sensors decided the rack might be a car and it slammed on the brakes. Is there a way to disable the auto braking system?

thanks.

You might try depressing the traction control button on the dash for 5 seconds to turn off the collision avoidance and see if that works. If so, that turns back on after you turn off the vehicle so you would need to do that at the start of each trip.

You need to turn off PKSB. Go to into your cluster and go to Settings and scroll to PKSB. You can also tell it, Yes, when it asks if a trailer is connected, but that does get funky. That also turns off your beeps and braking, but getting it to allow you to turn things back on is hit or miss. I had to cycle my brake controller the one time I accidentally hit Yes on that question when towing bikes.

I turned off the PKSB on mine, and now it beeps a bit when backing up but no brakes slamming on since then. I do get a prompt on the screen, I just push the back symbol on the top left on the steering wheel, and it goes away. This is with a Velocirax 5X bike rack.
