Trailer Connections Status
When a trailer is connected, the

driver by requesting a trailer profile
setup through the Trailering App
System on the infotainment screen.
The Trailer Detection Alert setting
must be enabled for the alert to
display when a trailer is connected.
When a trailer is connected and the
ignition is off, the Trailering App

lighting circuits of the trailer to verify
it is still connected. The trailer lights
may periodically flash as a result of
this trailer connection detection.
These flashes may be more visible in
dark ambient light environments. The
flashing or flickering lights are a
normal condition and the Trailering
App System has built-in protections to
prevent the battery from draining. When Theft Alert is also enabled the
frequency and pattern of this flashing
will change.
If a connected trailer becomes
disconnected, a message about the
trailer disconnect will appear on the
DIC immediately (if vehicle is on) or
upon next ignition cycle (if trailer was
disconnected while vehicle is off).
Check your trailer connection if
needed.

issue will appear on the Driver
Information Center (DIC). The
