    I know there are other threads about disabling and modulating some of the many "safety" interventions on the gen5, and those have been quite helpful.

    But one question that l could not immediately find in the manual: which of the alphabet soup "safety" interventions on the gen5 is the one that slams on the brakes when one tries to move the car a few feet while parking when the driver's door is not 100% fully closed? I would like to disable that braking, but l am not sure under which umbrella that falls.

    I thought the auto/pedestrian brake only kicked on over a certain speed, only dash warnings below that. I would suspect, if there was an actual auto-brake - it would be related to the open door.

    What do I know; since I own a gen4 which doesn't do either....o_O:)(n)
