Over ride car stop when trying to back up with door open

[Duframer]

Is the trailer harness hooked up? The harness overrides the parking sensors. It thinks you are backing into something if not hooked up

Forward or backward trailer or no trailer. You can’t drive with a open door.

I just went on a short trip, backed out of my garage and about half way down the driveway I stopped, opened the driver's door, let off the brake, and it continued backing down my driveway with the door opened. So I wasn't seeing the auto-braking described above.

In my settings, I have everything but PDA turned on. So I guess you need to turn PDA off for this auto-braking with the door open to stop.

its probably the same procedure as the tundra (its in my sig on the tundra forums, so i just copied it from there)

Safety Lockout bypass (driver door open) : with door open, shift into park and then drive again while leaving the door open. Your ECU module will log that you bypassed the safety lockout, and you'll be able to move without engaging the parking brake. but it will throw a warning notification on the MID screen.

Seriously,
Backing up my small travel trailer has become a nightmare because I cant see the trailer wheels with the door open while I back up to maneuver into tight camp spots.
There has to be a way to override that. I cannot believe anyone at Toyota did that. They test drivers never owned a travel trailer, thats for sure.
Anyone have any knowlege of this.
And please, dont reply "that's a important safety feature that Toyota does not want you to by pass"

Did you check to see if PDA is enabled and turned it off and tried again. Assuming this fixes it for you, it's not related to having a trailer attached.

OK , Nice. That works, Awesome. But I do have to keep the brake pedal depressed a tad while I am moving. So for backing up the trailer I need one foot on gas and one foot on brake pedal. Awkward but doable (I think). If I release the brake, they come on automatically.

That also works with backing up with the bike rack. I have to have the brake pedal slightly depressed and use a little gas to keep backing up.

However, I did, per a post above, strat playng with the PDA setting. That setting does not over ride it, but a setting right below it, which is a "P" icon with a road cone behind it, does turn off those auto locking features.
Nice. Problem solved
Thanks to all!!!
