To disable the auto park feature on a Ram 1500, start by navigating to the Uconnect screen and accessing the settings. Locate the Brakes option, select it, and then find the auto park setting to turn it off by unchecking the box. Auto park, also known as parking assist or active park assist, is a system that uses radar, cameras, and sensors to assist with automated parking. This technology enables the vehicle to autonomously maneuver into parking spaces, whether in a parking lot or on the street. While many new cars come equipped with factory-installed sensors, similar sensors can be added to most vehicles currently in use. These additional sensors are typically mounted in the front and rear bumpers using a specialized drill bit for a precise installation.
Carolyn is mistaken, sadly. The feature is in place and cannot be disabled. It's a negative aspect that I only found out about after purchasing my 2020 model. If I had been aware beforehand, I would have chosen the Silverado solely for this specific reason.
Check out the main console up front - there's a feature there that lets you do what you need. Just navigate through the settings until you locate it.
