How to turn off sensors

Does anyone know how to turn off the collision/parking sensors? We have a lot of slush and crud here, and it's making the car very annoying to be in because the sensors are caked and keep buzzing loudly in the cabin as we drive.

I am also worried it'll think we're about to hit something and hit the brakes for us at the worst time possible, all because the car is caked in sleet and frozen crap at the moment. I've fiddled with the system and tried to find it in the manual, but not at my best today...

thanks!

Nevermind, my brain kicked on and I figured it out via the park/camera button.

Good find. That button is not well-labeled as to its function.
I think you can also drill down through the MBUX menu to turn them off.
