I read a post that stated that the only way to disable the pre-collision assist was to take the truck to the dealer. I found that I could change all the settings and even disable this feature completely by going to Features/Driver Assistance/Pre-Collision Assist on the touchscreen.
The problem I experienced was having the emergency braking activated and reduce my truck's speed from 65 mph to 40 mph in seconds when a car in the next lane started to brake for an exit from the freeway. If anyone had been tailgating my truck they would have likely hit me. This feature is designed to work for pedestrians which may be why it reacts to something to the side of the truck.
I also had to deactivate the rear brake emergency activation as it would apply the brakes when backing up if I had a bike rack attached to the hitch receiver.
I can appreciate the value of these features for people who drive and do not pay attention to what is around their vehicle and especially all the clowns who fail to use hands free cell phone capabilities. Small wonder that accident rates are up 15%.
