Lights
This view displays the names of the trailer
connector pins, a graphic of the trailer
connector, and a graphic of the back of the
trailer. Any connector pin that fails turns an amber
color, and the location of the corresponding
connection is highlighted on the graphic of
the back of the trailer.
If a trailer connection is detected without
any faults, the view displays

When a trailer is connected, the Trailering
App System detects the trailer connection
using the Stop/Turn Signal lighting circuits
and alerts the driver by requesting a trailer
profile setup through the Trailering App
System on the infotainment screen. If a
default trailer profile is selected, the
Trailering App System does not display a
Trailer Detection Alert to the user when a
trailer is connected.
When a trailer is connected and the vehicle
is off, the Trailering App System periodically
pulses the lighting circuits of the trailer to
verify it is still connected. The trailer lights
may periodically flash as a result of this
trailer connection detection. These flashes
may be more visible in dark ambient light
environments. The flashing or flickering
lights are a normal condition and the
Trailering App System has built-in
protections to prevent the battery from draining. When Theft Alert is enabled, the
frequency and pattern of this flashing
changes.
If a connected trailer disconnects, a message
immediately appears on the DIC if the
vehicle is on, or the next time the vehicle is
turned on. Check your trailer connection if
needed.
