Troubleshooting
The Trailer Camera calibration may take
longer than expected or not calibrate if:
.The vehicle is driven too fast during
calibration. Maintain speeds below
50 km/h (31 mph).
.The vehicle is not driven straight during
calibration. Steering should be maintained
as straight as possible. Excessive Steering
during calibration may extend
calibration time.
.The calibration is attempted in low light.
Calibration should be attempted when
there is enough light.
.The calibration is attempted during
adverse weather conditions. Calibration
during conditions such as snow or heavy
rain should be avoided.
.The road surface is not ideal for
calibration. Calibration should be
attempted on an alternate road surface.
.The accessory trailer cameras are
swapped at the hitch connector. Ensure
that the camera mounted to the rear of
the trailer is connected to the rear trailer
camera input.
.The accessory trailer camera is mounted,
angled, or rotated outside of the defined
mounting location (see camera
installation instructions).
.The vehicle or accessory trailer camera is
obstructed by dirt or debris. Check
cameras and clean as needed.
.The accessory trailer camera is mounted
such that obstructions are visible in the
view (spare tire, bike/cargo racks, etc.).
Calibration should be attempted with
obstruction temporarily removed.
Shadows resulting from driving toward
the sun may be perceived as obstructions.
Attempt to calibrate driving in an
alternate direction if possible.
.The entered trailer profile dimensions are
inaccurate. Measurements are expected to
be made to the nearest centimeter or
inch. Enter accurate measurements and
reattempt calibration.
Distortion may be observed in a rear trailer
camera view if:
.The accessory trailer camera is mounted,
angled or rotated outside of the defined
mounting location. See your dealer.
.The entered trailer profile dimensions are
inaccurate. Measurements are expected to
be made to the nearest centimeter or
inch. Enter accurate measurements and
reattempt calibration.

that the accessory camera(s) are
connected to the correct camera input.
.A trailer profile is not configured and
selected.
.The entered trailer profile dimensions are
inaccurate. Measurements are expected to
be made to the nearest centimeter or
inch. Enter accurate measurements and
reattempt calibration.
.The trailer position is not known. Drive
straight forward to learn trailer position.
.The rear vehicle camera is obstructed by
dirt or debris. Check cameras and clean as
needed.
.The accessory trailer cameras were
plugged in when the vehicle was running.
Prior to plugging in the trailer camera,
the vehicle needs to be off with all doors
closed for at least five minutes.
An unexpected view may display when:
.During the initial portions of the drive,
Transparent Trailer Degraded may be
displayed until truck or trailer articulation
angle can be calculated. Once calculated,
the expected transparent trailer view will
be displayed. Certain viewing features may experience
degraded performance if:
.The entered trailer profile dimensions are
inaccurate. Measurements are expected to
be made to the nearest centimeter or
inch. Enter accurate measurements and
reattempt calibration.
.The rear vehicle camera is obstructed by
dirt or debris. Check cameras and clean as
needed.
For trailers with outboard wheels:
.Performance for Transparent Trailer and
Jack Knife Detection are optimized when
the entered value for trailer width reflects
the width of the box of the trailer. If total
width is entered:
.The inlayed camera view in
Transparent Trailer View may appear
wider than the trailer face.
.The rear vehicle camera is obstructed by
dirt or debris. Check cameras and clean as
needed.

a maximum of two minutes to detect and
label each TTPMS sensor. After each sensor
is learned, a check mark appears next to the
tire, the vehicle horn sounds, the vehicle
brake lamps flash, and all working trailer
lamps flash.
The recommended tire pressure must be
entered for the trailer tires. An alert appears
when a trailer tire's pressure is high or low.
Tool Method: A TTPMS activation tool can
be purchased separately to learn the trailer
TTPMS sensor locations.
Manual Method: Without the TTPMS
activation tool, the air pressure can be
increased or decreased in each tire for
10 seconds. Do not exceed the maximum
inflation pressure found on the tire
sidewalls. Make sure to readjust tire
pressure to the recommended level when
the process is complete.
Sensor Learning Steps
To complete the sensor-to-vehicle learn
process:1. Touch Start on the Learn Sensors screen. The horn chirps twice and the Learning
Active screen appears on the
infotainment display. 2. Start with the driver side front
trailer tire.
3. Activate the tool near the valve stem or adjust the air pressure of this tire until
the horn chirps and all working vehicle
and trailer lights flash.
The process stops without saving the
sensor locations if this step takes more
than two minutes.
4. Move to the next tire and repeat Step 3 for each sensor. The horn chirps twice
when all sensors are completed.
5. Return to the vehicle to complete the setup.
