TRAILER BACKUP ASSISTANCE
– FREQUENTLY ASKED
QUESTIONS
What does it mean if the system
does not detect a trailer that is
setup with a sticker?
•
The system could be having trouble
identifying the sticker. The system
requires a clear view of the sticker
placed on the trailer. You must keep
the camera lens and sticker clean for
the system to correctly operate. If the
system cannot initially detect the
trailer, it could be necessary for you to
change the lighting conditions by
moving your vehicle and trailer or
waiting until the conditions change.
See Applying the Trailer Reversing
Aid Sticker (page 424). Deleting the
trailer and repeating the setup and
calibration could improve performance,
but some trailers are not compatible
with the sticker and camera system. If
the system consistently does not
detect the trailer with the sticker setup,
you may choose to setup the trailer
with a sensor.
Note: The system is designed to be used
with the same trailer connection every time
you choose the trailer from the touchscreen.
When using a different drawbar or a
different pin hole on drawbars with more
than one, connecting the drawbar to your
vehicle affects the trailer position and you
may need to repeat the trailer setup and
calibration process. Why does the trailer not reverse
straight?
•
The road conditions, such as road
camber and road slope, could affect
how straight the system can reverse.
You can compensate for the trailer
drifting to the right or left by slowly
turning the knob until the trailer is
following your desired path and then
holding the knob in that position.
• Other factors, such as the hitch
connection or trailer suspension, could
affect how straight the system can
reverse the trailer. You can
compensate for the trailer drifting to
the right or left by slowly turning the
knob until the trailer is following your
desired path and then holding the knob
in that position.
• The sensor could be incorrectly
installed. Make sure the sensor is
correctly installed.
What does it mean if the system
remains on one message for an
extended time during calibration
when setting up the system with
the sticker?
• The camera could require cleaning.
• You could have a blocked sticker. Verify
the sticker is in the proper location. See
Applying the Trailer Reversing Aid
Sticker
(page 424).
• The drawbar could be outside of the
allowed range of
4–19 in (10–48 cm).

•
The system could have difficulties
recognizing the sticker based on
environmental factors. You could need
to move to a different area to change
the lighting and background or you
could need to change the direction you
are driving. You could also try setting
up the system at a different time of
day.
• Some trailers are not compatible with
the sticker and camera system. If the
issue persists, set up the trailer with a
sensor purchased from your authorized
dealer. See Trailer Sensor
Installation (page 424).
What does it mean if the system
pauses during calibration?
• There could be steering input or trailer
movement during the straight drive
portion of the calibration process.
What does it mean if the system
displays hold steering steady
during turn?
• Part of the calibration process for the
sticker setup requires a steady turn. If
you are continually moving the steering
wheel during the turn, this delays the
calibration process. To enable the
calibration process, hold the steering
wheel at the same position when
turning. What does it mean if the system
displays that it is not available?
•
There could be a sub-system that the
system uses that is not correctly
operating. If the system continues to
display it is not available, visit your
authorized dealer to have your vehicle
checked.
• There could be a battery voltage issue.
Make sure the battery is correctly
charged. If the system continues to
display it is not available, visit your
authorized dealer to have your vehicle
checked.
What does it mean if the system
displays that driving is required to
initialize steering?
• The steering system needs to learn
internal parameters to fully turn on the
feature. Drive your vehicle straight
forward above
25 mph (40 km/h) for
approximately 5 minutes.
• Your vehicle is new, there is a battery
voltage issue or you have serviced the
steering system.
What does it mean if the system
requires you to pull forward to
initialize?
• This occurs when the vehicle has not
moved during the current key cycle
after you connect and select the trailer
in the touchscreen, or you operate the
system at speeds below
1 mph
(1 km/h) for an extended period of
time. Drive forward above 2 mph
(3 km/h) and the system indicates
when it initializes.
