view. If the vehicle is then returned to REVERSE
gear from DRIVE, the Zoom View selection will
automatically resume.
NOTE:The Zoom View button and AUX button (if
equipped) will not be available when the vehicle is
shifted into REVERSE and the Trailer Reverse
Steering Control (TRSC) feature (if equipped) is
activated.
Shifting to NEUTRAL from any gear will maintain
the selected view (Zoom or Standard) as long as
the vehicle is below 8 mph (13 km/h).
If the vehicle is in PARK, Zoom View is available
until the gear selector is placed in DRIVE or
REVERSE and speeds are at or above 8 mph
(13 km/h).
NOTE:
If the vehicle is in DRIVE, NEUTRAL, or REVERSE,
and speed is greater than or equal to 8 mph
(13 km/h), Zoom View is unavailable and the
icon will appear grey.
While in Zoom View, the guidelines will not be
visible.

the Top View of your vehicle. This occurs whenever
the gear selector is in REVERSE or when enabled
through the Uconnect system. The Top View of the
vehicle will also show if any doors are open. The
image will be displayed on the touchscreen along
with a caution note “Check Entire Surroundings”.
After five seconds, this note will disappear. The
Surround View Camera system is comprised of four
cameras located in the front grille, rear tailgate
and side mirrors.

only be used as a parking aid. The ParkView
camera is unable to view every obstacle or
object in your drive path.
To avoid vehicle damage, the vehicle must be
driven slowly when using ParkView to be able
to stop in time when an obstacle is seen. It is
recommended that the driver look frequently
over his/her shoulder when using ParkView.

right direction.

Trailer Reverse Steering Control Calibration
Using TRSC

Trailer Reverse Steering Control Knob

To use the system, place the gear selector in PARK
and put your foot on the brake. Push the activation
button located above the TRSC knob in the center
stack. The LED on the button will glow solid and the
instrument cluster display will direct you to shift to
REVERSE. Once in REVERSE the system is active.
Remove hands from the steering wheel and slowly
back up while turning the TRSC knob in the direction you want the trailer to go. Turning the
knob clockwise will cause the trailer to turn right.
Turning the knob counterclockwise will cause the
trailer to turn left. If you release the knob, it will
return to its center position, and the trailer will
back up in a straight line.
Continue to control the accelerator and brake
while backing the trailer up.
NOTE:While active, TRSC will automatically disable the
Rear Park Assist system if it was previously
enabled.
The system will limit the top speed your vehicle can
travel in REVERSE while using the feature. If
needed, you can shift to DRIVE or NEUTRAL to pull
forward to get more room or straighten out the
trailer, and shift back to REVERSE without the need
to reactivate the feature.
The feature will cancel after 30 seconds in
DRIVE or when the vehicle speed reaches 8 mph
(12 km/h).
To cancel out of the feature, come to a stop and
shift to PARK, or push the TRSC activation button.

“Trailer Steering Unavailable” will display if
there is a fault in the system preventing activa -
tion, the driver’s door is open, the driver’s seat
belt is unbuckled, or the tailgate is open. Other reasons the feature may cancel:
The driver overrides steering by placing hands
on the steering wheel.
Trailer tracking is lost.
If the trailer angle becomes excessive, the
brakes apply bringing the vehicle to a stop and
then applying the parking brake.
Trailer steering button is pushed while active.
Vehicle speed goes over 8 mph (12 km/h).
Driver door is open and seat belt is unbuckled.
Transmission shifted to PARK.
Trailer Memory
The trailer steering system will automatically retain
the calibration of the previous five trailers
connected, so recalibration will not be necessary
when hooking up. The next time the vehicle is
started, place the vehicle in DRIVE and drive a
short distance. The TRSC system can then be
activated.
NOTE:Trailers may look different during day and night
conditions. In such cases, the trailer may need to
recalibrate. Some trailers (such as boat trailers) will need to
recalibrate while loaded and unloaded.
NOTE:
The system may not detect a trailer in low light
conditions. In sunny conditions, the perfor
-
mance may be degraded as shadows pass over
the trailer.
The driver is always responsible for safe opera -
tion of truck and trailer.
The driver is always in control of the truck as
well as the trailer and is responsible for
controlling the throttle and brakes.
The system may not function when the camera
lens is blocked, blurred (covered with water,
snow, ice, dirt, etc) and will not work unless the
tailgate is upright and fully latched.
TOWING REQUIREMENTS
To promote proper break-in of your new vehicle
drivetrain components, the following guidelines
are recommended.
CAUTION!
Do not tow a trailer at all during the first
500 miles (805 km) the new vehicle is driven.
The engine, axle or other parts could be
damaged.

STARTING AND OPERATING221
Trailer brakes are recommended for trailers
over 1,000 lb (453 kg) and required for trailers
in excess of 2,000 lb (907 kg).Integrated Trailer Brake Module (ITBM) —
If Equipped
Your vehicle may have an ITBM for electric and
Electric Over Hydraulic (EOH) trailer brakes.
NOTE:This module has been designed and verified with
electric trailer brakes and new EOH systems.
Some previous EOH systems may not be
compatible with ITBM.

Integrated Trailer Brake Module (ITBM)
The user interface consists of the following:
GAIN Adjustment Buttons (+/-)
Pushing these buttons will adjust the brake control
power output to the trailer brakes in
0.5 increments. The GAIN setting can be increased
to a maximum of 10 or decreased to a minimum of
0 (no trailer braking).
GAIN
The GAIN setting is used to set the trailer brake
control for the specific towing condition and should
be changed as towing conditions change. Changes
to towing conditions include trailer load, vehicle
load, road conditions and weather.
Manual Brake Control Lever
Slide the manual brake control lever to the left to
activate power to the trailer's electric brakes
independent of the tow vehicle's brakes. If the
manual brake control lever is activated while the
brake is also applied, the greater of the two inputs
determines the power sent to the trailer brakes.
The trailer and the vehicle’s stop lamps will come
on when braking normally with the vehicle brake
pedal. Only the trailer stop lamps will come on
when the manual brake control lever is applied.
WARNING!
Do not connect trailer brakes to your vehicle's
hydraulic brake lines. It can overload your
brake system and cause it to fail. You might
not have brakes when you need them and
could have an accident.
Towing any trailer will increase your stopping
distance. When towing, you should allow for
additional space between your vehicle and the
vehicle in front of you. Failure to do so could
result in an accident.
CAUTION!
If the trailer weighs more than 1,000 lb (453 kg)
loaded, it should have its own brakes and they
should be of adequate capacity. Failure to do
this could lead to accelerated brake lining wear,
higher brake pedal effort, and longer stopping
distances.
