– FREQUENTLY ASKED
QUESTIONS
What does it mean if Measurement A
has reached its maximum or minimum
value?
The system is designed to work with
drawbars that have a license plate to
hitch ball center measurement of
9–20 in (23–52 cm) when installed.
Do not attempt to use drawbars that
have a length outside this range as the
system performance degrades and
could cause improper system function.
Make sure that the measurement
being made is the horizontal distance
only from the license plate to the hitch
ball center. A straight line distance
that includes any vertical rise or drop
increases the measurement and
makes it inaccurate. Inaccurate
measurements degrade system
performance and could cause
improper system function. See
Applying the Trailer Reversing Aid
Sticker
(page 341).
What does it mean if Measurement B
has reached its maximum or minimum
value? Make sure that the sticker is properly
placed. Stickers placed outside the
allowed zone adversely affects the
system performance and could cause
improper feature function. Make sure
that the measurement being made is
the horizontal distance only from
center of the sticker to the hitch ball
center. A straight line distance that
includes any vertical rise or drop
increases the measurement and
causes an inaccurate value to be
entered into the system. See
Applying the Trailer Reversing Aid
Sticker
(page 341). What does it mean if Measurement C
has reached its maximum or minimum
value?
Make sure you follow the sticker
placement instructions. Stickers
placed outside the allowed zone
adversely affect the system
performance and could cause
improper feature function. If you have
met all the criteria for sticker
placement and you see this message,
the sticker is either too far below or too
close to the camera to properly
recognize the sticker. For the system
to correctly operate, lower the sticker
height if you receive the minimum
warning or raise the sticker height if
you receive the maximum warning.
Only one sticker can be placed on the
trailer for correct system function. The
previous sticker must be removed or
covered so only one sticker is visible
to the camera. Measurement B and C
must be measured again if a new
sticker is placed on the trailer. See
Applying the Trailer Reversing Aid
Sticker
(page 341).
What does it mean if Measurement D
has reached its maximum or minimum
value? Make sure that the measurement
being made is the horizontal distance
only from tailgate to the center of the
single axle or the center of all the axles
on the trailer. The system does not
support trailer lengths outside the
range allowed by the information
display. See
Applying the Trailer
Reversing Aid Sticker (page 341).

What does it mean if the system
remains on one message for an
extended time during calibration when
setting up the system with a
fifth-wheel or gooseneck trailer?
The sensor could be incorrectly
installed, the trailer length could be
outside the allowed range or the road
surface could be too rough or bumpy.
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 or there could be a battery
voltage issue. 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. This could
also occur when your vehicle is new,
there is a battery voltage issue or if the
steering system has been serviced. What does it mean if the system does
not detect a trailer when configured for
a fifth-wheel or gooseneck trailer?
Verify that the sensor is properly
connected. See
Trailer Sensor
Installation (page 344). Repeat
calibration on a different route if you
have verified sensor installation.
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 instrument cluster display 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.

What does it mean if the trailer is at its
maximum angle or the system
deactivated by trailer angle when using
a conventional trailer?
The system uses your measurements
to determine sticker position and
establish system limits. Accurate
sticker placement and trailer
measurements provide the best
system performance. If you are
consistently receiving this warning, it
is likely there is an issue with sticker
placement or the entered
measurements. Make sure that the
sticker is placed correctly and the
measurements were made correctly.
See Applying the Trailer Reversing
Aid Sticker (page 341). To change the
sticker location or change trailer
measurements, change the sticker
option in the instrument cluster
display. If the sticker location needs to
be changed, the previous sticker must
be removed and a new sticker needs
to be placed on the trailer. Only one
sticker should be placed on the trailer
for proper system function. What does it mean if the trailer is at its
maximum angle or the system
deactivated by trailer angle when using
a fifth-wheel or gooseneck trailer?
You are at the maximum controllable
trailer angle for the system. Place your
vehicle in drive (D) and pull forward to
get the truck and trailer back to an
in-line position. If this message
consistently displays, this could
indicate the sensor is incorrectly
installed, the trailer needs to be
recalibrated or the drawbar or the
trailer dimensions are outside of the
supported range. The system is
designed to work with drawbars that
have a license plate to hitch ball center
measurement of 9– 20 in (23–52 cm)
when installed. The system is designed
to work with trailers that have a hitch
point to center of the axle or axles
measurement of
6– 33 ft
(1.85– 10.05 m). Do not attempt to use
drawbars or trailers that have a length
outside of this range as the system
performance degrades and could
cause improper system function.
Check that the correct trailer is
selected in the instrument cluster
display. Verify the sensor is installed
according to the instructions included
in the sensor kit and check that the
drawbar and the trailer dimensions are
within the allowed range. Then, delete
the trailer from the system and repeat
the setup process to calibrate the
trailer.

Note:
When rounding in inches, round
upward if the measured length is a quarter
inch or greater. Round downward if the
measured 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: When rounding in centimeters, round
to the nearest whole centimeter. If the
measurement is less than
0.2 in (0.5 cm)
round downward. If the measurement is
more than or equal to 0.2 in (0.5 cm) round
upward. For example, 11.9 in (30.3 cm)
would be rounded down to
11.8 in (30 cm).
12.0 in (30.5 cm) would be rounded up to
12.2 in (31 cm).
Entering the Measurements
Follow the prompts in the instrument
cluster display to enter each of the
measurements. Use the up and down
arrows to increase or decrease the
numbers, as necessary. Press OK to
confirm each measurement. When you add
the last measurement, the instrument
cluster display shows all the
measurements entered. You can choose
to confirm or change the measurements.
Confirming the Sticker Placement
Check the rear view camera display to see
if the system identifies the sticker. The
system marks the sticker with a red circle.
Confirm that the red circle shows over the
sticker image in the rear view camera
display.
Note: If the system cannot locate the
sticker, try cleaning the camera lens. Make
sure the sticker is within the green zone. CALIBRATING THE SYSTEM
Calibrating the system requires driving
straight forward. Follow the instructions in
the instrument cluster display to complete
the calibration process.
Note:
Calibrating the system requires an
area where you can safely drive forward. An
open parking lot is an ideal place to perform
the calibration.
Note: Keep the steering wheel straight
when instructed to by the instrument cluster
display. If the steering wheel is in a turned
position during this instruction, the
calibration pauses.
Note: The system is designed to work with
drawbars that have a license plate to hitch
ball center measurement of
9– 20 in
(23–52 cm) when installed. Do not attempt
to use drawbars or trailers that have a
length outside of this range as the system
performance degrades and could cause
improper system function.
Note: The instrument cluster display shows
if you are going too slow or fast. Calibration
pauses if the speed is outside the required
range of
4– 24 mph (6– 39 km/h).
Note: For best results, do not calibrate the
system at night when calibrating the system
with the sticker.

To use the system with a fifth-wheel or
gooseneck trailer, you must install a
sensor. Refer to the instructions in the
sensor kit for proper installation.
Note:
Make sure the arrows on the sensor
housing are facing up. Mount the sensor to
a vertical part of the trailer that pivots and
moves when you turn your vehicle. Do not
mount to a stationary surface or to the truck
side of the fifth-wheel trailer hitch.
Note: You need to replace the 7/4 way
connector in the bumper with the
recommended 7/12 pin connector if your
vehicle did not come with the fifth-wheel
prep package. See your authorized dealer.
Note: If your vehicle has the fifth-wheel
prep package, you have everything you need.
If your vehicle does not have the fifth-wheel
prep package, see your authorized dealer to
purchase the sensor kit and the 7/12 pin
connector.
CALIBRATING THE SYSTEM
Calibrating the system requires driving
forward and turning left or right. Follow the
instructions on the instrument cluster
display and touchscreen to complete the
calibration process. Note:
Calibrating the system requires an
area where you can safely drive forward and
turn left or right. An open parking lot is an
ideal place to perform the calibration.
Note: Keep the steering wheel straight
when instructed to by the instrument cluster
display and touchscreen. If the steering
wheel is in a turned position during this
instruction, the calibration pauses.
Note: During calibration, the system
determines the trailer length. The system
supports trailer lengths of 10– 39 ft
(3– 11.94 m) distance from the hitch point
to the center of the axle or axles.
Note: The instrument cluster display and
touchscreen shows if you are going too slow
or fast. Calibration pauses if the speed is
outside the required range of

Hitch Angle Graphic
The hitch angle graphic shows a small
representation of your truck and trailer with
visual feedback to help you monitor the
trailer. The graphic shows two different
colored lines for the trailer hitch angle. A
black line shows you where your trailer is
in relation to your vehicle. The white line
represents the amount the trailer can turn
based on steering wheel position.
The graphic shows a yellow and red zone
for the hitch angle to warn you of a high
angle condition that could require you to
pull forward to reduce the hitch angle. The
angle limits for each zone vary based on
the trailer length.
The yellow zone indicates you are
approaching the maximum controllable
trailer angle for the system. When the
trailer enters this zone, it is more difficult
to reduce the trailer turn when backing up.
It may be necessary to put your vehicle
back into drive (D) and pull forward to get
the truck and trailer back to an in-line
position.
The red zone indicates you have exceeded
the maximum controllable trailer angle for
the system. Immediately stop reversing.
Put your vehicle into drive (D) and pull
forward until the trailer is no longer in the
red zone.
