5. Select the trailer type.
Some examples of conventional type
trailers are shown below.
Note:
You cannot use the system with the
types of trailers marked with the cross.
The system only works with
conventional trailers. It does not work
with other types including goose neck
and fifth wheel. Follow the information display prompts.
Step 3: Place the Sticker on the Trailer
Frame
The supplied sticker must be placed in an
area visible by the Rear View Camera.
Note:
The cargo and trailer hookup lamps
turn on automatically to improve visibility.
Note: An assistant can help to carry out the
following procedure.
Note: Make sure nothing can obstruct the
Rear View Camera's view of the sticker. For
example, items such as a jack handle or
wiring.
Note: Position the sticker on a flat, dry and
clean horizontal surface. For best results
apply the sticker when temperatures are
above 32°F (0°C). Note:
Do not move stickers after they are
placed. Do not re-use any stickers if
removed. Use the supplied measurement card, a
tape measure and pen to carefully mark
the area where to attach the sticker
(supplied in the back cover pocket of your
quick start guide). Make sure the whole
sticker is within the zone between the two
arcs or distance markers on the diagram,
and is also visible in the Rear View Camera
display.
Step 4: Take Measurements
After the sticker is correctly placed on the
trailer you must take some key
measurements.
Note:
Accurate measurements must be
taken for the system to operate properly.
Note: Round measurement figures to the
nearest half inch.
Note: Round upward if the measured length
is a quarter inch or greater. Round
downward if the measure length is less than
a quarter inch. For example
12.25 in
(31.11 cm) would be rounded up to 12.50 in
(31.75 cm). 12.13 in (30.8 cm) would be
rounded down to 12.00 in (30.48 cm).
Note: Use consistent metric or imperial
units as required by your country or vehicle.
Record the four key distances (A, B, C, D)
as required by the measurement card.
Record the trailer name for these
measurements.
