What does it mean if the trailer is at itsmaximum angle or the systemdeactivated by trailer angle?
You are at the maximum controllabletrailer angle for the system. Place yourvehicle in drive (D) and pull forward toget the truck and trailer back to anin-line position. If this messageconsistently displays, this couldindicate the sticker is incorrectlyapplied, the trailer needs to berecalibrated or the drawbar or thetrailer dimensions are outside of thesupported range. The system isdesigned to work with drawbars thathave a license plate to hitch ball centermeasurement of 9–18 in (23–46 cm)when installed. The system is designedto work with trailers that have a hitchpoint to center of the axle or axlesmeasurement of 6–33 ft(1.85–10.05 m). Do not attempt to usedrawbars or trailers that have a lengthoutside of this range as the systemperformance degrades and couldcause improper system function.Check that the correct trailer isselected on the touchscreen. Verifythe sticker is correctly applied andcheck that the drawbar and the trailerdimensions are within the allowedrange. Then, delete the trailer from thesystem and repeat the setup processto calibrate the trailer.
What does it mean when the systemtells you to take control of the steeringwheel?
The system is no longer steering thevehicle and you must take oversteering. There are four reasons thesystem could display this message.The first reason the system coulddisplay this message is that you havetouched the steering wheel when thesystem is steering. The second reasonthe system could display this messageis that you have exceeded themaximum speed for the feature. Thethird reason the system could displaythis message is that the trailer is notdetected. The final reason the systemcould display this message is that aninternal condition for system operationis not met that requires your vehicle toreturn to manual control of thesteering.
What does it mean if the system doesnot detect a trailer?
The system requires a clear view of thesticker placed on the trailer. You mustkeep the camera lens and sticker cleanfor the system to correctly operate. Ifthe system cannot initially detect thetrailer, it could be necessary for you tochange the lighting conditions bymoving your vehicle and trailer orwaiting until the conditions change.See Applying the Trailer ReversingAid Sticker (page 371). Some trailersare not compatible with the stickerand camera system.
Note:The system is designed to be usedwith the same trailer connection every timeyou choose the trailer from the touchscreen.When using a different drawbar or adifferent pinhole on drawbars with morethan one, connecting the drawbar to yourvehicle affects the trailer position and youmay need to repeat the trailer setup andcalibration process.

Thesystem is designed to work with drawbarsthat have a license plate to hitch ball centermeasurement of 9–18 in (23–46 cm) wheninstalled. Do not attempt to use drawbarsor trailers that have a length outside of thisrange as the system performance degradesand could cause improper system function.
Note:The touchscreen shows if you aregoing too slow or fast. Calibration pauses ifthe speed is outside the required range of2–9 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 thesystem to locate the hitch ball as well asdetermine the trailer length.
