You can set-up a trailer to work with the blind
spot information system through the
touchscreen. When setting up a trailer, a
sequence of screens appear asking for trailer
information.
1. Select type of trailer screen -
conventional, fifth wheel or gooseneck.
Note: The system only supports conventional
trailers.
2. Do you want to set up blind spot with trailer screen? If no, the system turns off.
If yes, the menu goes to the next screen.
3. Is the width less than 9 ft (2.7 m) and
length less than 33 ft (10.1 m)? If no, the
system turns off. If yes, the menu goes
to the next screen.
4. Trailer width measurement. Measure the
width at the front of the trailer. It is not
measured at the widest point of the
trailer. The maximum width at the front
of the trailer the system can support is
8.5 ft (2.6 m)
. Note:
You do not need to enter an exact
trailer width measurement. You only need
to confirm that the width of the trailer is less
than
9 ft (2.7 m).
5. Trailer length measurement. The trailer length is the distance between the trailer
hitch ball and the rear of the trailer. The
maximum length that the system can
support is
33 ft (10.1 m).
6. Enter the length of trailer. The default setting is
18 ft (5.5 m). Toggling up or
down using the menu buttons increases
or decreases the measurement by
3 ft
(1 m). Select a length that is equal to or
within 3 ft (1 m) of the actual measured
length. For example, if the actual
measure length is
25 ft (7.5 m), toggle
the length in the menu to 27 ft (8.2 m).
The system setup saves when you enter
the length of the trailer.
Note: If the trailer is a bike rack or cargo
rack with electrical lighting, enter a length
of 3 ft (1 m). Cross traffic alert remains on for
trailers with a length of
3 ft (1 m) or less. Note:
The system requires proper
measurement and measure entry to function
properly.
SELECTING A TRAILER
When you connect a trailer to your vehicle,
the trailer set up menu appears in the
touchscreen. This menu allows you to set up
a new trailer or choose from a previously set
up trailer. A warning message appears and
the system turns off if you do not choose or
add a new trailer.
Note: The warning message may not appear
until your vehicle reaches 22 mph (35 km/h).

In situations where the
vehicle camera has limited detection
capability, this may reduce system
performance. These situations include but
are not limited to direct or low sunlight,
vehicles at night without tail lights,
unconventional vehicle types, pedestrians
with complex backgrounds, running
pedestrians, partly obscured pedestrians,
or pedestrians that the system cannot
distinguish from a group. Failure to take
care may result in the loss of control of
your vehicle, serious personal injury or
death.
PRE-COLLISION ASSIST
LIMITATIONS
Pre-collision assist depends on the detection
ability of its camera and sensors. Any
obstructions or damage to these areas can
limit detection or prevent the system from
functioning.
See Locating the Pre-Collision
Assist Sensors (page 323). The system is active at speeds above 3 mph
(5 km/h)
.
Note: The pre-collision assist system
automatically disables when you select
four-wheel drive low or manually disable
AdvanceTrac ™.
Note: Brake support and automatic
emergency braking are active at speeds up
to
80 mph (130 km/h). If your vehicle has a
radar sensor included with adaptive cruise
control, then brake support and automatic
emergency braking are active up to the
maximum speed of your vehicle.
Pedestrian Detection Limitations
Pedestrian detection is active at speeds up
to
50 mph (80 km/h).
Pedestrian detection operates optimally
when detected hazards are clearly
identifiable. System performance may reduce
in situations where pedestrians are running,
partly obscured, have a complex
background, or cannot be distinguished from
a group.

WHAT IS EVASIVE STEERING ASSIST
If your vehicle is rapidly approaching a road
user, evasive steering assist helps you steer
around the road user.
After you turn the steering wheel in an
attempt to avoid a crash with the road user,
the system applies additional steering torque
to help you steer around the road user. After
you pass the road user, the system applies
steering torque when you turn the steering
wheel to steer back into the lane. The system
deactivates after you fully pass the road user.
Note:
Road users are defined as pedestrians
or bicyclists in your vehicle's path or another
stationary vehicle in the same lane or a
vehicle traveling in the same lane in the
same direction as you.
See Pre-Collision
Assist Precautions (page 320).

HOOKING UP A TRAILER USING A
WEIGHT-DISTRIBUTING HITCH WARNING: Do not adjust the spring
bars so that your vehicle's rear bumper is
higher than before attaching the trailer.
Doing so will defeat the function of the
weight-distributing hitch, which may cause
unpredictable handling, and could result
in serious personal injury. A weight-distributing hitch helps distribute
tongue load to all towing vehicle and trailer
wheels. For more information, visit the links

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.
• Your vehicle has AdvanceTrac with roll
stability control. When towing a trailer,
additional loads could cause the
AdvanceTrac system to engage during
cornering maneuvers. Reduce cornering
speeds to make sure that you can
maintain control of the vehicle and trailer
if the AdvanceTrac system engages. •
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.
