Is there a way to tell the automatic brake-slammer in reverse to calm down a little?

I'd love to lower my Arteon, but already have to stop several times every time I back out of the driveway to give the beepy sensors time to realise I'm not trying to reverse them into the road.
...

Do any other mulitvan owners experience harsh braking, especially at lowest speeds?

Mine seems to grab quiet well.

i am looking at mk7 r
can any 1 give me some pricing guide. spoke to 3 dealers, lowest price is 62k with roof and leather.
