Default Reversing caravan, and park assist/auto brake problem

Can anyone help, we tried to reverse with our caravan attached and the sensors say, nope, there's something behind you and slams on the brake !!
We're a xc60 MY22, b5 momentum. I've tried reading the manual but as you can imagine i haven't found the answer yet.. We have an aftermarket tow ball with dedicated electrics.
Has someone else had this problem and managed to figure it out?

If you have a trailer properly connected to your XC60, it should disable the rear parking sensors. You could also just manually turn them off to avoid autobrake situations.

Many thanks for your swift response, I've read that section, but i can't find the bit where it tells me how to turn them off manually, i seem to remember one bit i read, it said it was in camera view?

When I first start my car and put the car in reverse (with bike rack in trailer hitch) an option appears to disable the auto reverse braking and audible warning noise.
Try watching the large display when first putting your car in reverse…

Try turning off 'BLISS' in your settings. I think that should work.

That's your blind spot warning system.

Not sure that will turn off emergency braking....when I have a bike rack on it is almost impossible to back up without disabling emergency back up braking ( The brakes slam on in a very freighting way )

It won't, they're different things. Emergency braking is to help you avoid a frontal impact. Bliss is those buttons around your rear bumper cover watching to see that you don't back over someone behind you in a parking lot or maybe a toddler on a trike.

Have you tried it by turning it off ???
