I agree, I assumed that GM would have an override in the Home Screen Settings, but never found it. The same thing has happened to me three times before I figured out that I was accidentally hitting the button on the dash. I fat fingered the "A" (Auto Stop/Start) Button, and hit the tailgate button at the same time. Luckily, I didn't have anything in the bed at the time. Didn't realize until I put truck in reverse and saw a nice picture of the parking lot below me! I too would think that it should only work in Park, or have a lock out on the settings screen!
