ACC?

Also, I may be mistaken, but I think if you disable it in the menus, it is only until you turn the car off? Maybe I'm wrong

Nope, permanent.

Maneuver braking... it comes on if its in park mode... did you reverse out of the parking space by any chance?

Park mode doesn't come off until either you press the button or exceed something like 15mph.

Up until then, if the ultrasonic parking sensor spot something and it thinks you're gonna hit it.... crunch on come the brakes.

It can and does spot the road surface when you come down steep slopes... like my friend's driveway...

You can disable braking in the menus if you want... I'd recommend that you don't.

I was pulling out of the dealers forward. Was definitely under 15 mph as I was looking at a mk2 oak green gti that must have been in for servicing. I git out and had a good look around, nothing but the road surface. Felt under the splitter and no damage at all.

It feels like you have scrapped the front/back end when it kicks in. Been there, done that!

Using the ultrasonic sensors it can be fooled by all sorts of things too and if you are genuinely heading for a collision it sometimes is not fast enough to react either!

I might be lucky, but I’ve never had this operate when it couldn’t be excused for thinking a collision was a possibility. Whatever, I wouldn’t consider turning it off. Anything that could save injury or damage in a moment of distraction is invaluable. Set up for city traffic queues, where it is probably most reliable.

Park assist braking is different to front assist... which is different to ACC...
