Bike rack creates several challenges.
1. How to disable electric rear hatch so it doesn't accidentally try to open and scratch paint when it hits the bikes?
2. How to disable rear camera that is now blocked by bikes? "Parking Off" button disables the warning sound, but then there is the auto-braking feature. It works to back up slowly with the brake slightly applied, but occasionally it will still slam the brakes on, scaring me half to death.
Any ideas to help me?

I just answered number 2 for myself. Use Settings/Safety Settings/Collision Avoidance/Smart Brake Support (Rear). This turns off the avoidance braking. Turn it back on when bikes are unloaded.
Now if I could disable the electric lift gate while I have the bike rack on.
