PARKING AID PRECAUTIONS
WARNING: To help avoid personal
injury, always use caution when in
reverse (R) and when using the sensing
system. WARNING:
The system may not
detect objects with surfaces that absorb
reflection. Always drive with due care
and attention. Failure to take care may
result in a crash. WARNING: Traffic control systems,
fluorescent lamps, inclement weather,
air brakes, external motors and fans may
affect the correct operation of the
sensing system. This may cause reduced
performance or false alerts. WARNING:
The system may not
detect small or moving objects,
particularly those close to the ground. WARNING:
The parking aid system
can only assist you to detect objects
when your vehicle is moving at parking
speeds. To help avoid personal injury you
must take care when using the parking
aid system. WARNING:
The system may not
function if the sensor is blocked. WARNING:
In cold and severe
weather conditions the system may not
function. Rain, snow and spray can all
limit sensor performance. WARNING:
If damage occurs in the
immediate area surrounding the sensor,
have your vehicle checked as soon as
possible. Note:
If your vehicle sustains damage
leaving the sensors misaligned, this will
cause inaccurate measurements or false
alerts.
When you connect a trailer to your vehicle,
the rear parking aid detects the trailer and
provides an alert. Disable the parking aid
when you connect a trailer to prevent the
alert.
Note: Certain add-on devices installed
around the bumper or fascia may create
false alerts, for example, large trailer
hitches, bike or surfboard racks, license plate
brackets, bumper covers or any other device
that could block the normal detection zone
of the parking aid system. Aftermarket spare
tires or spare tire covers mounted to the rear
tailgate could cause false alerts from the
park aid system. Remove the add-on device
to prevent false alerts.
Note: Keep the sensors free from snow, ice
and large accumulations of dirt. If the
sensors are covered, the system's accuracy
can be affected.
Do not clean the sensors with sharp
objects.
Note: When using a programmed MyKey
you cannot switch this off. See
MyKey ™
(page 77).

WHAT IS BLIND SPOT
INFORMATION SYSTEM
Blind spot information system detects
vehicles that may have entered the blind
spot zone.
HOW DOES BLIND SPOT
INFORMATION SYSTEM WORK
Blind spot information system uses
sensors on both sides of your vehicle,
detecting rearward from the exterior
mirrors to approximately 13 ft (4 m)
beyond the rear bumper. The detection
area extends to approximately 59 ft (18 m)
beyond the rear bumper when the vehicle
speed is greater than
30 mph (48 km/h)
to alert you of faster approaching vehicles. BLIND SPOT INFORMATION
SYSTEM PRECAUTIONS

Do not use the blind
spot information system as a
replacement for using the interior and
exterior mirrors or looking over your
shoulder before changing lanes. The
blind spot information system is not a
replacement for careful driving. WARNING:
The system may not
operate properly during severe weather
conditions, for example snow, ice, heavy
rain and spray. Always drive with due
care and attention. Failure to take care
may result in a crash.
Note: Blind spot information system does
not prevent contact with other vehicles. It
does not detect parked vehicles,
pedestrians, animals or other infrastructure.
BLIND SPOT INFORMATION
SYSTEM LIMITATIONS
Blind spot information system does not
operate in park (P) or reverse (R).
The system may not alert you if a vehicle
quickly passes through the detection zone.
BLIND SPOT INFORMATION

Your vehicle may have a temporary or
conventional spare tire. A temporary spare
tire is different in diameter or width,
tread-type, or is from a different
manufacturer than the road tires on your
vehicle. Consult information on the tire
label or Safety Compliance label for
limitations when using.
When towing a trailer:
•
Obey country specific regulations for
towing a trailer.
• Do not drive faster than 70 mph
(113 km/h) during the first 500 mi
(800 km).
• Do not make full-throttle starts.
• Check your hitch, electrical connections
and trailer wheel lug nuts thoroughly
after you have traveled 50 mi (80 km).
• When stopped in congested or heavy
traffic during hot weather, place the
transmission in park (P) to aid engine
and transmission cooling and to help
A/C performance.
• Turn off the speed control with heavy
loads or in hilly terrain. The speed
control may turn off when you are
towing on long, steep slopes.
• Shift to a lower gear when driving down
a long or steep hill. Do not continuously
apply the brakes, as they may overheat
and become less effective.
• If your transmission has Grade Assist
or Tow/Haul, use this feature when
towing. This provides engine braking
and helps eliminate excessive
transmission shifting for optimum fuel
economy and transmission cooling.
• If your vehicle has AdvanceTrac with
roll stability control, this system may
turn on during typical cornering
maneuvers with a heavily loaded trailer.
This is normal. Turning the corner at a
slower speed when towing may reduce
this tendency. •
Allow more distance for stopping with
a trailer attached. Anticipate stops and
gradually brake.
• Avoid parking on a slope. However, if
you must park on a slope, turn the
steering wheel to point your vehicle
tires away from traffic flow, set the
parking brake, place the transmission
in park (P) and place wheel chocks in
front and back of the trailer wheels.
Note: Chocks are not included with your
vehicle.
LAUNCHING OR RETRIEVING
A BOAT OR PERSONAL
WATERCRAFT
When backing down a ramp during boat
launching or retrieval:
• Do not allow the static water level to
rise above the bottom edge of the rear
bumper.
• Do not allow waves to break higher
than
6 in (15 cm) above the bottom
edge of the rear bumper.
Exceeding
6 in (15 cm) could allow water
to enter vehicle components, causing
internal damage to the components and
affecting driveability, emissions and
reliability.
Note: Replace the rear axle lubricant
anytime the rear axle has been submerged
in water.
Note: Disconnect the trailer wiring
connector before backing the trailer into the
water.
Note: Reconnect the trailer wiring
connector after removing the trailer from
the water.

The horizontal distance from the
license plate to the center of the
ball hitch on the trailer.
A
The horizontal distance from the
center of the ball hitch to the
center of the sticker.
B
The point to point distance from
the rear view camera to the
center of the sticker.
C
The horizontal distance from the
tailgate to the center of the
trailer axle or axles.
D
Note: Distance D is the center of the axles
for trailers with more than one axle.
Note: Round distance D to the nearest
inch or centimeter.
Note: When rounding in inches, round
upward if the measured length is a quarter
inch or greater. Round downward if the
measured length is less than a quarter inch.
For example, 12.25 in (31.11 cm) would be
rounded up to 12.50 in (31.75 cm). 12.13 in
(30.8 cm) would be rounded down to
12.00 in (30.48 cm). Note:
When rounding in centimeters, round
to the nearest whole centimeter. If the
measurement is less than
0.2 in (0.5 cm)
round downward. If the measurement is
more than or equal to 0.2 in (0.5 cm) round
upward. For example, 11.9 in (30.3 cm)
would be rounded down to
11.8 in (30 cm).
12.0 in (30.5 cm) would be rounded up to
12.2 in (31 cm).
Entering the Measurements
Follow the prompts in the instrument
cluster display to enter each of the
measurements. Use the up and down
arrows to increase or decrease the
numbers, as necessary. Press OK to
confirm each measurement. When you add
the last measurement, the instrument
cluster display shows all the
measurements entered. You can choose
to confirm or change the measurements.
Confirming the Sticker Placement
Check the rear view camera display to see
if the system identifies the sticker. The
system marks the sticker with a red circle.
Confirm that the red circle shows over the
sticker image in the rear view camera
display.
Note: If the system cannot locate the
sticker, try cleaning the camera lens. Make
sure the sticker is within the green zone.
CALIBRATING THE SYSTEM
Calibrating the system requires driving
straight forward. Follow the instructions in
the instrument cluster display to complete
the calibration process.
Note: Calibrating the system requires an
area where you can safely drive forward. An
open parking lot is an ideal place to perform
the calibration.

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.
