How to disable automatic Electric Brake when backing down a hill with door open.

[Glen Baker LLC]

I have a 24 and often open the door to see around my snowmobile trailer when it backing off the street and into the garage. I know, why the hell you putting a trailer in a garage. Well, I live in a pine grove and I leave nothing outside more than a few minutes or I will find clumps of sap on it.
It always goes into park with seatbelt off. MOST of the time it does not when the seatbelt is on (though I do slip the belt off my sholder in order to hang out the door a little further. But on occasion it does go into park, not sure if is related to how much of the belt is out or not, but it still does go into park on some occasions. My neighbor told me to try the belt on trick as he found that he was able to back up with the door open on his several year old Ram truck.

Exactly as I posted.
I wonder if anything was changed for 25-26?
Sadly, the OP @A112358 never answered my question.
Whether it was automatic braking or automatically shifting into Park?

for me it is PARK. It shows it as such when you look down at the knob.

Seat belt on,
Foot on brake pedal.
Shift trans into Reverse.
Open door to look at the edge of the driveway/garden.
Start to back down the hill.
The trans stays in reverse but the electric brake gets turned on.
I have to manually switch off the EB.
Very annoying.

Thank you for the details.

I back in, I have to open the door a bit to get a good look down at the edge of the garden,

It's too late now, but the 360 view solves this.

Part of what you get is a synthesized view from above, showing a black shadow around your vehicle and a lockdown on everything around you.

It' great for tight parking. My only complaint is that shifting into forward shuts it off; it should stay engaged, at least with asphalt colored ground, until hitting the "we're moving now!" speed. (and similarly when using trailer assist!)
