When parking in my garage, I have to park it really close to the stairs to give myself enough clearance to close the garage door. I have a few safety cones and a parking laser light to guide me into the same spot every time. My issue is that the RX will auto brake suddenly and start sounding alarms when I am inching forward to the sweet spot. This is working as designed, but can this be turn off by the ICS/park assist/RCTA or combination of?

Park assist is just for the buzzer sound and navi screen display? It doesn't actually control the auto-braking does it?

Do you have the brake hold feature on? If you're crawling so slow that you come to a stop, it will hold instead of inching forward. The pre-collision system (PCS) auto-braking does not engage below a certain speed.

You can adjust the parking sensor display and sound options under the vehicle settings in the navigation menu.

i have had the same issue as you.. i think short of disable the safety/parking sensor systems each time you park in your garage... you are SOL.

What i have learned to do is creep up VERY slowly.. i use a wood chuck on the ground to stop the car from going too far forward... rather than drive up to the wood chuck with any amount of speed.. i slowly creep up until the tire is stopped by the wood chuck.. (hope this made sense)

the auto-brake used to engage once every other day - but for the last month or two.. i have adjusted the way i pull in so the auto-brake isnt engaged and i stopped the same place every time because of the wood chuck.

Why don't you hang a small rubber ball or something like that from the ceiling instead of using safety cones?

I do the same as you, with a short piece of 2x4. Works great.

Ditto. A 2 x 4 is perfect.

I use a 16" 4X4 with a tape marking to make sure it is properly positioned. And yes, I believe if you turn off the ICS the parking assists and braking will go away. Just make sure you turn it back on.

Will try turning the ICS off as it concurs with the manual but just double checking with folks experience here.

The cargo basket I installed blocks the sensors so I can’t back up now. Plz help

Look for ICS in the manual, on off is on the display between the speedo and tach.
