Use the sticker placement card and a tape
measure to determine the appropriate area
to place the sticker. The sticker is in the back
cover pocket of your quick start guide. Make
sure the entire sticker is within the green
zone between the two arcs or distance
markers on the diagram, and is also visible
in the rear view camera display.
Once you have found the correct location,
place the sticker.
Note:
Make sure nothing can obstruct the
rear view camera's view of the sticker such
as a jack handle or wiring. Note:
Position the sticker on a flat, dry and
clean horizontal surface. For best results,
apply the sticker when temperatures are
above 32°F (0°C).
Note: Do not move stickers after placing
them. Do not re-use any stickers if removed.
Note: You can purchase additional stickers
through your authorized dealer.
CALIBRATING THE SYSTEM
Calibrating the system requires driving
forward and turning left or right. Follow the
instructions on the touchscreen to complete
the calibration process. Note:
To calibrate the system, you need 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 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 6–33 ft
(1.85–10.05 m) distance from the hitch point
to the center of the axle or axles. The system
is designed to work with drawbars that have
a license plate to hitch ball center
measurement of
9–18 in (23–46 cm) when
installed. Do not attempt to use drawbars or
trailers that have a length outside of this
range as the system performance degrades
and could cause improper system function.
Note: The touchscreen shows if you are
going too slow or fast. Calibration pauses if
the speed is outside the required range of
2–9 mph (4–15 km/h)
.
Note: You need to complete at least a
90°
turn, and longer trailers could require a 180°
turn. Camera trailer tracking requires the
system to locate the hitch ball as well as
determine the trailer length. Some trailers
could require you to drive straight then turn
multiple times before calibration completes.
The touchscreen provides instructions and
notifies you when calibration completes. Note:
For best results, do not calibrate the
system at night.
SWITCHING TRAILER REVERSE
GUIDANCE ON AND OFF
Shift into reverse (R), press the rear camera
button to expand the menu, press the trailer
icon and use the touchscreen to select the
connected trailer.
Note: If the trailer was connected just prior
to turning the system on, you may need to
drive forward to initialize the system. Follow
the instructions on the touchscreen to
activate the system.
USING TRAILER REVERSE
GUIDANCE VIEWS
Up to three camera views could be available
when using trailer reverse guidance. Use the
view that helps you the most when reversing
your vehicle and trailer. 360°
camera view. Shows a 360°
view on the right-hand side of the
touchscreen with a rear camera
view on the left-hand side of the
touchscreen. Rear view camera view. Shows
your trailer hitch or what is directly
behind your vehicle.
Trailer reverse guidance view.
Shows you a view of the sides of
your vehicle and the trailer. In auto
mode, this view moves as the trailer moves
so that you do not have to adjust the camera
as you turn. Left and right arrows let you see
other camera views. Straight backup mode. Shows
which way to turn your steering
wheel to keep the trailer straight.
Use this view when you want to keep your
trailer completely in line with your vehicle.
Note: It may be helpful to shift your vehicle
into drive (D), pull forward and straighten out
the vehicle and trailer before engaging
straight backup mode.

This takes you back to the 360°
camera system and out of the
trailer reverse guidance feature. Auto. Press to return to auto view.
Note: Auto mode is the default setting. Hitch Angle Graphic
The hitch angle graphic shows a small
representation of your vehicle and trailer with
visual feedback to help you monitor the
trailer. The graphic shows two different
colored lines for the trailer hitch angle. A
black line shows you where your trailer is in
relation to your vehicle. The white line
represents the amount the trailer can turn
based on steering wheel position.
The graphic shows a yellow and red zone
for the hitch angle to warn you of a high
angle condition that could require you to pull
forward to reduce the hitch angle. The angle
limits for each zone vary based on the trailer
length. The yellow zone indicates you are
approaching the maximum controllable trailer
angle for the system. When the trailer enters
this zone, it is more difficult to reduce the
trailer turn when backing up. It may be
necessary to put your vehicle back into drive
(D) and pull forward to get your vehicle and
trailer back to an in-line position.
The red zone indicates you have exceeded
the maximum controllable trailer angle for
the system. Immediately stop reversing. Put
your vehicle into drive (D) and pull forward
until the trailer is no longer in the red zone.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What does it mean if the system remains
on one message for an extended time
during calibration?
The camera could need to be cleaned,
the sticker could be blocked, the
drawbar could be outside the allowed
range of 9–18 in (23–46 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
Reverse Aid Sticker (page 376). 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. 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 or there could be a battery
voltage issue. 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. This could also
occur when your vehicle is new, there
is a battery voltage issue or if the
steering system has been serviced.
What does it mean if the system does not
detect a trailer? 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 Reverse Aid
Sticker (page 376). Some trailers are not
compatible with the sticker and camera
system.

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.
