Positioning the Trailer
Hitch the trailer to your vehicle and
connect the electrical wiring harness.
Check to make sure that the wiring is
working. See Connecting a Trailer (page
323).
Park your vehicle and hitched trailer on a
level surface.
For best results, make sure that your trailer
rides level with the ground when you hitch
your vehicle. See
Connecting a Trailer
(page 323). Make sure that the trailer and your vehicle
are in line with each other. You can do this
by putting the transmission in drive (D) and
pulling straight forward.

Note:
Keep the steering wheel straight
when instructed to by the instrument cluster
display. If the steering wheel is in a turned
position during this instruction, the
calibration pauses.
Note: The system is designed to work with
drawbars that have a license plate to hitch
ball center measurement of 9– 20 in
(23–52 cm) when installed. Do not attempt
to use drawbars that have a length outside
of this range as the system performance
degrades and could cause improper system
function.
Note: The instrument cluster display shows
if you are going too slow or fast. Calibration
pauses if the speed is outside the required
range of
4– 24 mph (6– 39 km/h).
Note: For best results, do not calibrate the
system at night when calibrating the system
with the sticker.

of fifth-wheel and gooseneck trailers.
Note: Trailer reverse guidance camera
views are available with no trailer setup.
However, complete functionality including
graphics and automatic view switching is

Note:
Make sure the arrows on the sensor
housing are facing up. Mount the sensor to
a vertical part of the trailer that pivots and
moves when you turn your vehicle. Do not
mount to a stationary surface or to the truck
side of the fifth wheel-trailer hitch.
Note: You need to replace the 7/4 way
connector in the bumper with the
recommended 7/12 pin connector if your
vehicle did not come with the fifth-wheel
prep package. See your authorized dealer.
Note: If your vehicle has the fifth-wheel
prep package, you have everything you need.
If your vehicle does not have the fifth-wheel
prep package, see your authorized dealer to
purchase the sensor kit and the 7/12 pin
connector.
CALIBRATING THE SYSTEM
Calibrating the system requires driving
forward and turning left or right. Follow the
instructions on the instrument cluster
display and touchscreen to complete the
calibration process. Note:
Calibrating the system requires an
area where you can safely drive forward and
turn left or right. An open parking lot is an
ideal place to perform the calibration. Note:
Keep the steering wheel straight
when instructed to by the instrument cluster
display and touchscreen. If the steering
wheel is in a turned position during this
instruction, the calibration pauses.
Note: During calibration, the system
determines the trailer length. The system
supports trailer lengths of 10– 39 ft
(3– 11.94 m) distance from the hitch point
to the center of the axle or axles.
Note: The instrument cluster displays and
touchscreen shows if you are going too slow
or fast. Calibration pauses if the speed is
outside the required range of
2 – 16 mph
(4– 25 km/h).
Note: You need to complete at least a 90°
turn, and longer trailers could require a 180°
turn.

Why does the trailer not reverse
straight when using a conventional
trailer?
Factors such as the drawbar
connection to the hitch receiver, road
camber, road grade and compliance
in the trailer suspension can influence
how straight the system is able to
reverse your trailer when the knob is
not turned. You can compensate for
the trailer drifting to the right or left by
slowly turning the knob until the trailer
is following your preferred path and
then holding the knob in that position.
If you would like to recalibrate the
system for straight backing, change
the sticker option in the instrument
cluster display. Confirm the
measurements, and the system
prompts you to perform the calibration
procedure.
Why does the trailer not reverse
straight when using a fifth-wheel or
gooseneck trailer? Verify the sensor is correctly installed.
Other factors such as the hitch
connection, road camber, road slope
and trailer suspension could influence
how straight the system can reverse
the trailer when the control knob is not
turned. 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. Why does the system not detect a
sensor?
There could be an issue with the
connection, the wiring harness could
be damaged, you could have multiple
sensors connected or the sensor could
be incorrectly installed. Check that the
12-way connector is fully inserted into
the 12-way socket. The red rubber seal
is not visible when the connector is
fully inserted. Also check that the
wiring harness sensor connection is
fully inserted at the trailer sensor, and
check for damaged wiring between
the 12-way connector and the trailer
sensor. Also, check that the sensor is
installed on a vertical surface with the
arrows pointing straight up.
What does it mean if the system
remains on one message for an
extended time during calibration when
setting up the system with a
conventional trailer? The camera could need to be cleaned,
the sticker could be blocked, the
drawbar could be outside the allowed
range of 4–19 in (10–48 cm) or you
could need to move to a different area
to change the lighting and background.
Verify the sticker is in the proper
location. See
Applying the Trailer
Reversing Aid Sticker (page 341).
You can move to a different area or
change the direction you are driving or
setup the system at a different time
of day. Some trailers are not
compatible with the sticker and
camera system.
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.
