Default Auto Park Assist in Reverse?

Is there a way to have Park Assist activate when I put the car in reverse? On my Range and other cars as soon as you put it in reverse you get the radar on and for 1 minute after you put in in drive then it turns off. I hate having to push the button on and off everytime. Sorry for such a newb question lol

When you put the car in reverse does the light on the button come on?

Keep the park assist activated all the time, and when you approach an obstacle it's going to beep and show how close the object is on the nav screen and on the small screen above the odometer.

To activate it, push the "p" button on the left of the steering wheel. Just keep it this way all the time. No need to turn it off.

The only occasion I turned the "Intuitive Parking Assist" off was in the winter when there was a build up of some ice/snow over the sensors. It doesn't take much to cause them to send an erroneous signal.
