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).

LOAD CARRYING PRECAUTIONS
Keep your loaded vehicle weight within
its design rating capability, with or
without a trailer. Properly loading your
vehicle provides maximum return of
vehicle design performance. Before you
load your vehicle, become familiar with
the following terms for determining your
vehicle
’s weight rating, with or without
a trailer, from the vehicle ’s Tire and
Loading Information label or Safety
Compliance Certification label. WARNING: The appropriate
loading capacity of your vehicle can
be limited either by volume capacity
(how much space is available) or by
payload capacity (how much weight
the vehicle should carry). Once you
have reached the maximum payload
of your vehicle, do not add more
cargo, even if there is space available.
Overloading or improperly loading
your vehicle can contribute to loss of
vehicle control and vehicle rollover. WARNING: Exceeding the Safety
Compliance Certification label vehicle
weight limits can adversely affect the
performance and handling of your
vehicle, cause vehicle damage and
can result in the loss of control of your
vehicle, serious personal injury or
death. WARNING:
Do not use
replacement tires with lower load
carrying capacities than the original
tires because they may lower your
vehicle's GVWR and GAWR limitations.
Replacement tires with a higher limit
than the original tires do not increase
the GVWR and GAWR limitations. WARNING:
Do not exceed the
GVWR or the GAWR specified on the
certification label. WARNING:
Exceeding any
vehicle weight rating can adversely
affect the performance and handling
of your vehicle, cause vehicle damage
and can result in the loss of control of
your vehicle, serious personal injury
or death. WARNING:
When loading the
roof racks, we recommend you evenly
distribute the load, as well as maintain
a low center of gravity. Loaded
vehicles, with higher centers of gravity,
may handle differently than unloaded
vehicles. Take extra precautions, such
as slower speeds and increased
stopping distance, when driving a
heavily loaded vehicle.
The gross combined weight must never
exceed the Gross Combined Weight
Rating.

LOCATING THE SAFETY
COMPLIANCE CERTIFICATION
LABELS
Safety Compliance Certification Label
Example:
The Safety Compliance Certification label is
located on the door hinge pillar, door-latch
post, or the door edge that meets the
door-latch post, next to the driver seating
position. WHAT IS THE GROSS AXLE
WEIGHT RATING
GAWR (Gross Axle Weight Rating)
GAWR is the maximum allowable weight
that a single axle (front or rear) can carry.
These numbers are on the Safety
Compliance Certification label.
WHAT IS THE GROSS VEHICLE
WEIGHT RATING
GVWR is the maximum allowable weight
of the fully loaded vehicle. This includes
all options, equipment, passengers and
cargo. It appears on the Safety
Compliance Certification label.
WHAT IS THE GROSS COMBINED
WEIGHT RATING
Gross Combined Weight Rating (GCWR)
is the maximum allowable weight of the
vehicle and the loaded trailer, including
all cargo and passengers, that the
vehicle can handle without risking
damage. (Important: The towing
vehicle
’s braking system is rated for
operation at Gross Vehicle Weight
Rating, not at Gross Combined Weight
Rating.) Separate functional brakes
should be used for safe control of towed
vehicles and for trailers where the Gross
Combined Weight of the towing vehicle
plus the trailer exceed the Gross Vehicle
Weight Rating of the towing vehicle.
Note: For trailer towing information refer

CALCULATING PAYLOAD
Tire and Loading Label Information
Example: Payload is the combined weight of cargo
and passengers that your vehicle is
carrying. The maximum payload for your
vehicle appears on the Tire and Loading
label. The label is either on the B-pillar
or the edge of the driver door. Vehicles
exported outside the US and Canada
may not have a tire and loading label.
Look for “The combined weight of
occupants and cargo should never
exceed XXX kg or XXX lb
” for maximum
payload. The payload listed on the Tire
and Loading Information label is the
maximum payload for your vehicle as
built by the assembly plant. If you install
any additional equipment on your
vehicle, you must determine the new
payload. Subtract the weight of the
equipment from the payload listed on
the Tire and Loading label. When towing,
trailer tongue weight or king pin weight
is also part of payload.
CALCULATING THE LOAD LIMIT
Steps for determining the correct load
limit: 1.
Locate the statement "The combined
weight of occupants and cargo
should never exceed XXX kg or XXX
lb." on your vehicle ’s placard.
2. Determine the combined weight of
the driver and passengers that will
be riding in your vehicle.
3. Subtract the combined weight of the
driver and passengers from XXX kg
or XXX lb.
4. The resulting figure equals the available amount of cargo and
luggage load capacity. For example,
if the “XXX” amount equals 1,400 lb.
and there will be five 150 lb.
passengers in your vehicle, the
amount of available cargo and
luggage load capacity is 650 lb.
(1400-750 (5 x 150) = 650 lb.)
5. Determine the combined weight of
luggage and cargo being loaded on
the vehicle. That weight may not
safely exceed the available cargo
and luggage load capacity calculated
in Step 4.
