•
The system could have difficulties
recognizing the sticker based on
environmental factors. You could need
to move to a different area to change
the lighting and background or you
could need to change the direction you
are driving. You could also try setting
up the system at a different time of
day.
• Some trailers are not compatible with
the sticker and camera system. If the
issue persists, set up the trailer with a
sensor purchased from your authorized
dealer. See Trailer Sensor
Installation (page 424).
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. If the system continues to
display it is not available, visit your
authorized dealer to have your vehicle
checked.
• There could be a battery voltage issue.
Make sure the battery is correctly
charged. 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.
• Your vehicle is new, there is a battery
voltage issue or you have serviced the
steering system.
What does it mean if the system
requires you to pull forward to
initialize?
• This occurs when the vehicle has not
moved during the current key cycle
after you connect and select the trailer
in the touchscreen, or you operate the
system at speeds below
1 mph
(1 km/h) for an extended period of
time. Drive forward above 2 mph
(3 km/h) and the system indicates
when it initializes.

(If Equipped)

Driving In Sand
When driving over sand, try to keep all four
wheels on the most solid area of the trail.
Driving In Mud
Be cautious of sudden changes in vehicle
speed or direction when you are driving in
mud.
After driving through mud, clean your
vehicle. Excess mud stuck on the wheels
and tires and rotating components can
cause an imbalance and result in damage.
Note:
The vehicle brakes are less effective
when wet or muddy.
Driving Over Rocks and Gravel
Never attempt to straddle a rock that is
large enough to strike your axles or
undercarriage.
Leave a generous gap between your
vehicle and other vehicles to minimize the
risk of damage. Avoid dust clouds as they
reduce visibility.
Climbing A Hill WARNING: Extreme care should
be used when steering the vehicle in
reverse down a slope so as not to cause
the vehicle to swerve out of control.
Do not drive over the crest of a hill without
seeing what conditions are on the other
side. Do not drive in reverse over a hill
without the aid of an observer.
Note: Avoid turning on steep slopes or hills.
A danger lies in losing traction, slipping
sideways and possible vehicle roll over.
Note: Too much acceleration can cause
the tires to slip, spin or lose traction,
resulting in loss of vehicle control. Driving Through Water WARNING:
Do not attempt to
cross a deep, fast flowing body of water.
Failure to follow this instruction could
result in the loss of control of your
vehicle, personal injury or death.
The key to a safe crossing is the water
depth, current and bottom of the water's
condition. On soft bottoms, the vehicle
sinks in, effectively increasing the water
level on the vehicle. Make sure to consider
this when determining the depth of water.
Determine the depth and speed of the
current before attempting a water crossing.
Be aware that obstacles and debris could
be beneath the water ’s surface.
Note: Cross flowing water at an angle
heading slightly upstream.
Note: Tread lightly and avoid damage to
the environment.
Water can cause permanent damage that
may not be covered by your vehicle
warranty. See
Driving Through Water
Limitations (page 453).
Note: Failure to follow the recommended
speeds can result in vehicle damage.
Muddy waters can reduce the cooling
system effectiveness by depositing debris
into the radiator.
High currents even in shallow water can
wash the dirt out from around your tires or
push your vehicle across slippery rocks or
surfaces.
Do not cross any body of water that is fast
flowing and rising.

HIGH VOLTAGE BATTERY
VEHICLE PRECAUTIONS -
HYBRID ELECTRIC VEHICLE
(HEV)
In the event of damage or fire involving an
electric vehicle or hybrid-electric vehicle:
• Assume the high-voltage battery and
associated components are energized
and fully charged.
• Physical damage to the vehicle or
high-voltage battery could result in
immediate or delayed release of toxic,
flammable gases and fire.
Crashes
A crash or impact significant enough to
require an emergency response for
conventional vehicles would also require
the same response for an electric or
hybrid-electric vehicle. If Possible:
1. Move your vehicle to a safe, nearby
location and remain on the scene.
2. Roll down the windows before you switch your vehicle off.
3. Place your vehicle in park (P), apply the parking brake, switch off the
vehicle, turn on the hazard flashers and
move the key at least 16 ft (5 m) away
from the vehicle.
Always:
• Call emergency assistance if needed
and advise that an electric or
hybrid-electric vehicle is involved.
• Avoid contact with leaking fluids and
gases, and remain out of the way of
oncoming traffic until emergency
responders arrive.
• When emergency responders arrive,
tell them that the vehicle involved is an
electric vehicle or hybrid-electric
vehicle.
Fires
As with any vehicle, call emergency
assistance immediately if you see sparks,
smoke or flames coming from the vehicle.
Remain a safe distance from the vehicle
and try to stay clear of the smoke.
1. Exit the vehicle immediately.
2. Advise emergency assistance that an electric or hybrid-electric vehicle is
involved.
3. As with any vehicle fire, do not inhale smoke, vapors or gas from the vehicle,
as they may be hazardous.

not in the ignition. The battery loses charge
and could have insufficient power to restart
your vehicle.
Press the button again to switch them off.
JUMP STARTING THE VEHICLE
JUMP STARTING PRECAUTIONS WARNING: Batteries normally
produce explosive gases which can
cause personal injury. Therefore, do not
allow flames, sparks or lighted
substances to come near the battery.
When working near the battery, always
shield your face and protect your eyes.
Always provide correct ventilation. WARNING:
Keep batteries out of
reach of children. Batteries contain
sulfuric acid. Avoid contact with skin,
eyes or clothing. Shield your eyes when
working near the battery to protect
against possible splashing of acid
solution. In case of acid contact with skin
or eyes, flush immediately with water for
a minimum of 15 minutes and get prompt
medical attention. If acid is swallowed,
call a physician immediately. WARNING:
Use only adequately
sized cables with insulated clamps. WARNING:
Make sure that the
cables are clear of any moving parts and
fuel delivery system parts. WARNING: Connect batteries with
only the same nominal voltage. WARNING: If the engine is running
while the hood is open, stay clear of
moving engine components. Failure to
follow this warning could result in serious
personal injury or death.
Do not attempt to push-start an automatic
transmission vehicle. This could cause
transmission damage.
Do not disconnect the battery of the
disabled vehicle. This could damage your
vehicle's electrical system.
PREPARING THE VEHICLE
Use only a 12 volt supply to start your
vehicle.
Park the booster vehicle close to the hood
of the disabled vehicle, making sure the
two vehicles do not touch.
