Tow settings with bike rack

[MrLoganRoss]

When I use my Thule bike rack in the hitch, the system asks if I have a trailer attached. It disables cross traffic…and sometimes blind spot?

What are the ideal smart hitch and tow settings (and trailer sticker?) when using hitch mounted accessories (not a trailer)? Also. Is it possible to have backup sensors work?

Thanks.

Do you have something plugged in to the lights?

You setup the bike rack as a trailer. No, you don't put a sticker on it. Explained specifically in manual. Trailer length of 3 feet.

You may want to better understand what smart hitch and the sticker are for.

Yes. The carrier has its own lights. The 3 bike version of this: https://www.thule.com/en-us/bike-rack/hitch-bike-racks/thule-epos-2-with-lights-_-903211

Thanks. I will look at the manual.
