width at the front of the trailer that the system
can support is
8.5 ft (2.6 m).
286
Navigator (TB9) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, Edition date: 201907, Second-Printing Driving AidsE225008

Note:
You do not need to enter an exact
trailer width measurement. You only need
to confirm that the width of the trailer is 8.5 ft
(2.6 m) or less.
• Trailer length measurement:
The trailer length is the distance between
the trailer hitch ball and the rear of the trailer.
The maximum length that the system can
support is
33 ft (10.1 m).
• Enter length of trailer:
The default setting is
18 ft (5.5 m). Toggling
up or down using the menu buttons
increases or decreases the measurement by
3 ft (1 m)
. Select a length that is equal to or
within 3 ft (1 m) of the actual measured
length. For example, if the actual measured
length is
25 ft (7.6 m), toggle the length in
the menu to 27 ft (8.2 m). When you enter
the length of the trailer, the system setup is
saved.
Note: If the trailer is actually a bike rack or
cargo rack with electrical lighting, enter a
length of 3 ft (1 m)
. Cross Traffic Alert remains
on for trailers with a length of 3 ft (1 m) or
less. Note:
Proper measurement and
measurement entry is required for the
system to function as designed.
System Operation
When you connect a trailer to your vehicle,
the trailer set up menu appears in the
information display. This menu allows you to
set up a new trailer or choose from a
previously set up trailer. A warning message
appears and the system turns off if you do
not choose or add a new trailer.
Note: The warning message may not appear
until your vehicle speed reaches
22 mph
(35 km/h).
If you select a trailer in the information
display before connecting a trailer to your
vehicle, the system loads the configuration
for the selected trailer. When a trailer is
connected, a warning message appears.
Note: A second warning message may
appear stating that the Cross Traffic Alert
system has turned off. The Blind Spot
Information System with Trailer Tow
continues to function normally in this
situation. Note:
The system remembers the last
selected trailer set up when you start your
vehicle.
Trailer Considerations
The system is designed to work with a trailer
with a front width of 8.5 ft (2.6 m) or less, and
a total length from the trailer hitch ball to the
rear of the trailer of
33 ft (10.1 m) or less.
Some trailers may cause a slight change in
system performance:
• Large box trailers may cause false alerts
to occur when driving next to
infrastructures or near parked cars. A
false alert may also occur while making
a 90-degree turn.
• Trailers that have a width greater than
8.5 ft (2.6 m)
at the front and have a total
length greater than 20 ft (6 m) may cause
delayed alerts when a vehicle is passing
at high speed.

•
Box trailers that have a width greater than
8.5 ft (2.6 m) at the front may cause early
alerts when you pass a vehicle.
• Clam shell or V-Nose box trailers with a
width greater than
8.5 ft (2.6 m) at the
front may cause delayed alerts when a
vehicle traveling the same speed as your
vehicle merges lanes.
