Backing up with a trailer

[flowerman]

I am pulling a light weight jet ski trailer. When trying to back the empty trailer to the jet ski, the (very low)trailer is not visible thru the back window or the side mirrors. When trying to turn it is also not in range of the camera. In order to navigate the trailer I have to shift my weight in the seat to look over my right shoulder. Or, I have to lean out of the driver's window. ANY shift of my weight while baking, even slightly, causes the car to shift into park. I'm guessing this is a safety feature to stop the car from moving when there is no one in the driver's seat. However, there is no way to back up a low trailer without shifting weight off at least one side of the seat.

Is there a way to turn off this safety feature when backing a trailer? Is there a way to decrease the sensitivity of the sensor?

You could post marker flags (removable) at the corners of the trailer that you may be able to see without shifting weight.
