Trailer Feature Setup
Tow/Haul Mode Reminder
To turn the Tow/Haul Mode Reminder
setting on, touch Yes. To turn it off,
touch No.
Trailer Tire Pressure Setup
If the Trailer Tire Pressure Monitoring
System (TTPMS) is detected, touch
the Tire Pressure Monitoring icon to
set up tire pressure monitoring. Touch
Yes to set up the sensors or touch No
to return to the previous screen.
The trailer tire pressure sensors can
transmit up to 7 m (23 ft) from the
hitch receiver of the vehicle.
A trailer must be electrically
connected to the vehicle before
starting the sensor-to-vehicle learn
process.
After selecting Start from the Learn
Sensors screen, use the Tool Method
or the Manual Method (described
below) to learn each tire sensor,
during which the current tire number
will be highlighted.Each sensor has a minimum of
two minutes to learn, shown by a
timer. After a sensor is learned, a
checkmark appears next to the tire,
the vehicle horn will sound, the
vehicle’s brake lamps will flash, and
all working trailer lamps will flash.
It then moves to the next sensor.
To cancel the process touch Stop.
The recommended tire pressure must
be entered for the trailer tires. This
allows the vehicle to alert when the
tire pressure is high or low.
TTPMS must learn the location of the
installed tire sensors to show correct
air pressure and temperature for each
tire. To set up, use one of the
following options or see a tire or
trailer dealer for service. The learning
process must be repeated when the
trailer tires are rotated or replaced.
See
“Editing a Trailer Profile ”later in
this section for tire pressure sensor
relearn information.
Tool Method: A TTPMS activation tool
can be purchased separately to learn
the sensor locations. Manual Method: Without the tool, the
air pressure can be increased or
decreased in each tire for 10 seconds.
Do not exceed the maximum inflation
pressure found on the tire sidewalls.
Make sure to re-adjust tire pressure to
the recommended level when the
process is complete.
Sensor Learning Steps
To complete the sensor-to-vehicle
learn process:
1. Touch Start on the Learn Sensors screen. The horn chirps twice and
the Learning Active screen appears
on the infotainment display.
2. Start with the driver side front trailer tire.
3. Activate the tool near the valve stem or adjust the air pressure of
this tire until the horn chirps and
all working vehicle and trailer
lights flash.
The process stops without saving
the sensor locations if this step
takes more than two minutes.

Tire Fill Alert (If Equipped)
This feature provides visual and
audible alerts outside the vehicle to
help when inflating an underinflated
tire to the recommended cold tire
pressure.
When the low tire pressure warning
light comes on:1. Park the vehicle in a safe, level place.
2. Set the parking brake firmly.
3. Place the vehicle in P (Park).
4. Add air to the tire that is underinflated. The turn signal lamp
will flash.
When the recommended pressure
is reached, the horn sounds once
and the turn signal lamp will stop
flashing and briefly turn solid.
Repeat these steps for all
underinflated tires that have
illuminated the low tire pressure
warning light.
{Warning
Overinflating a tire could cause the
tire to rupture and you or others
could be injured. Do not exceed the
maximum pressure listed on the
tire sidewall. See Tire Sidewall
Labeling 0395 and
Vehicle Load Limits 0240.
If the tire is overinflated by more than
35 kPa (5 psi), the horn will sound
multiple times and the turn signal
lamp will continue to flash for several
seconds after filling stops. To release
and correct the pressure, while the
turn signal lamp is still flashing,
briefly press the center of the valve
stem. When the recommended
pressure is reached, the horn
sounds once.
If the turn signal lamp does not flash
within 15 seconds after starting to
inflate the tire, the tire fill alert has
not been activated or is not working.
If the hazard warning flashers are on,
the tire fill alert visual feedback will
not work properly. The TPMS will not activate the tire fill
alert properly under the following
conditions:.There is interference from an
external device or transmitter.
.The air pressure from the inflation
device is not sufficient to inflate
the tire.
.There is a malfunction in the TPMS.
.There is a malfunction in the horn
or turn signal lamps.
.The identification code of the TPMS
sensor is not registered to the
system.
.The battery of the TPMS sensor
is low.
If the tire fill alert does not operate
due to TPMS interference, move the
vehicle about 1 m (3 ft) back or
forward and try again. If the tire fill
alert feature is not working, use a tire
pressure gauge.
TPMS Sensor Matching Process

Each TPMS sensor has a unique
identification code. The identification
code needs to be matched to a new
