I think it can depend on the system fitted as to whether they can be turned on/off at will.I'd suggest that if the towbar is firing the system off then the sensors are not correctly spaced?

The official GM towbar wiring disables the park pilot when a trailer/pikey/burger van is plugged in

Classic speaker failure :y

Ignition on and in reverse, the sensors should 'buzz' if touched.
