The parking space is more than 5 ft (1.5 m) or less than 2 ft (0.5 m) away.
The vehicle speed is greater than 22 mph (35 km/h) for parallel parking or greater than19 mph (30 km/h) for perpendicular parking.
You recently disconnected or replaced the battery. After you reconnect the battery youmust drive your vehicle on a straight road for a short period of time.
Your vehicle is rolling in the opposite direction of the current transmission position. Forexample, rolling forward when in reverse (R).The system does not correctly position your vehiclein a parking space.
An irregular curb along the parking space prevents the system from correctly aligningyour vehicle.

The system is not available:
•The system relies on many sub-systemsin your vehicle to operate correctly. Ifthose sub-systems are not operatingcorrectly the system may not beavailable.
•Low battery voltage is a condition whichwill prevent the system from operating.Please make sure the battery is correctlycharged if the system is not available.
•You may need to drive your vehiclestraight forward above 25 mph (40 km/h)before the system is available again.
•If the message still displays take yourvehicle to an authorized dealer forservice.
Sticker lost:
•If the system cannot initially find thesticker, it may be necessary for you tochange the lighting conditions by movingthe vehicle and trailer or waiting untilconditions change.
•Check for the following if you receive thelost sticker message while using thesystem.
•Stop your vehicle as soon as themessage displays.
•Make sure the sticker is visible and thepattern is discernable in the rear viewcamera image.
•Clean the sticker and camera to makesure they are unobstructed.
•Clean the lens with a soft, lint-free clothand water.
•Clean the sticker with isopropyl rubbingalcohol sprayed directly onto the sticker,and then wipe clean with a soft cloth.
•Remove any items that may be blockingthe view of the sticker. Depending onyour trailer configuration and anyequipment mounted to your trailer it ispossible for the sticker to be blockedfrom view of the camera as it rotates onthe hitch ball but not be blocked duringsetup. Remove the obstruction ifpossible. It will be necessary to removethe sticker from it’s current location if theobstruction cannot be cleared and placea new sticker that will be visible to thecamera in all positions of the trailerbehind your vehicle.
•Placing the sticker on a surface angledaway from the vehicle reducesperformance. Use a drawbar thatpositions the trailer level to the groundwhen attached to vehicle. This typicallyprovides a level surface to mount thesticker. Place the sticker on a bracket orother object when no level surface isavailable.
•Make sure the entire sticker is on a flatsurface that is completely visible to thecamera. Do not fold the sticker over anedge on the trailer frame. This candegrade performance.
•Shadows on the sticker may effecttracking performance under somelighting conditions. Moving the sticker toanother location within the allowedplacement area may improveperformance. Use the change stickeroption in your Towing menu if you movethe sticker.

5. In a traffic-free environment, tow thetrailer on a dry, level surface at a speedof 20–25 mph (32–40 km/h) andsqueeze the manual control levercompletely.
6.If the trailer wheels lock up, indicated bysquealing tires, reduce the gain setting.If the trailer wheels turn freely, increasethe gain setting. Repeat Steps 5 and 6until the gain setting is at a point justbelow trailer wheel lock-up. If towing aheavier trailer, trailer wheel lock-up maynot be attainable even with the maximumgain setting of 10.
Explanation of Information Display WarningMessages
Note:An authorized dealer can diagnosethe trailer brake controller to determineexactly which trailer fault has occurred.However, your warranty does not cover thisdiagnosis if the fault is with the trailer.
A message indicating a trailer brake modulefault may display in response to faults sensedby the trailer brake controller, accompaniedby a single tone. If this message appears,contact an authorized dealer as soon aspossible for diagnosis and repair. Thecontroller may still function, but performancemay be degraded.
A message indicating a trailer wiring faultmay display when there is a short circuit onthe electric brake output wire. If this messagedisplays, accompanied by a single tone, withno trailer connected, the problem is with yourvehicle wiring between the trailer brakecontroller and the 7-pin connector at thebumper. If the message only displays with atrailer connected, the problem is with thetrailer wiring. Consult your trailer dealer forassistance. This can be a short to ground(such as a chaffed wire), short to voltage(such as a pulled pin on trailer emergencybreakaway battery) or the trailer brakes maybe drawing too much current.
