WHAT IS TRAILER BACKUP
ASSISTANCE
Trailer backup assistance utilizes the control
knob on the instrument panel to help you
steer a trailer. Turn the control knob in the
direction you want the trailer to go and the
system steers the vehicle.
HOW DOES TRAILER BACKUP
ASSISTANCE WORK
Trailer backup assistance uses a sticker to
detect the trailer angle relative to the towing
vehicle and provides instructions, graphics
and camera views on the touchscreen.
TRAILER BACKUP ASSISTANCE
PRECAUTIONS WARNING: Driving while distracted
can result in loss of vehicle control, crash
and injury. We strongly recommend that
you use extreme caution when using any
device that may take your focus off the
road. Your primary responsibility is the safe
operation of your vehicle. We recommend
against the use of any hand-held device
while driving and encourage the use of
voice-operated systems when possible.
Make sure you are aware of all applicable
local laws that may affect the use of
electronic devices while driving. WARNING:
This system is an extra
driving aid. It does not replace your
attention and judgment, or the need to
apply the brakes. This system does NOT
automatically brake your vehicle. If you fail
to press the brake pedal when necessary,
you may collide with another vehicle. Note:
The system is not a substitute for safe
driving practices. Always be aware of your
vehicle and trailer combination, and the
surrounding environment.
Note: The system does not detect or prevent
your vehicle or trailer from making contact
with obstacles in the surrounding
environment.
Note: The front end of your vehicle swings
out when changing the direction of the
trailer.
Note: In certain conditions, the trailer could
turn faster or the trailer angle could increase
more than anticipated. Always monitor the
clearance between the trailer and vehicle
and the surroundings.

SETTING UP THE TRAILER BACKUP
ASSISTANCE FOR A CONVENTIONAL
TRAILER
CONFIGURING THE TRAILER
You must configure a trailer in the system to
use the trailer reversing aids. This is a
one-time setup process and the trailer
information is saved in the system for the
next time you use that trailer.
The system only works with conventional
trailers. It does not work with other types
including gooseneck and fifth-wheel. The
following illustration shows examples of
conventional trailers on the left-hand side.
Positioning the Trailer
Hitch your trailer to the truck and connect
the electrical wiring harness. Check to make
sure that the wiring is working. See
Connecting a Trailer (page 345). Park your vehicle and hitched trailer on a
level surface.
For best results, make sure that your trailer
rides level with the ground when you hitch
your vehicle.
See Connecting a Trailer
(page 345). Make sure that the trailer and your vehicle
are in line with each other. You can do this
by putting the transmission in drive (D) and
pulling straight forward.

Configuring the Trailer in the
Touchscreen
1.
Press the button to switch the system on. 2. Press Add Trailer on the touchscreen.
3. Follow the directions on the touchscreen
to enter the trailer name, then proceed
to the sticker setup.
See Applying the
Trailer Reversing Aid Sticker (page 364).
APPLYING THE TRAILER REVERSING
AID STICKER
Place the sticker in an area visible by the rear
view camera. The entire sticker must be
within
4–19 in (10–48 cm) from the center of
the hitch ball, as shown in the following
illustration. Use the sticker placement card and a tape
measure to determine the appropriate area
to place the sticker. The sticker is in the back
cover pocket of your quick start guide. Make
sure the entire sticker is within the green
zone between the two arcs or distance
markers on the diagram, and is also visible
in the rear view camera display.
Once you have found the correct location,
place the sticker.
Note:
Make sure nothing can obstruct the
rear view camera's view of the sticker 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 placing
them. Do not re-use any stickers if removed.
Note: You can purchase additional stickers
through your authorized dealer.

CALIBRATING THE SYSTEM
Calibrating the system requires driving
forward and turning left or right. Follow the
instructions on the touchscreen to complete
the calibration process.
Note:
To calibrate the system, you need 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 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 6–33 ft
(1.85–10.05 m) distance from the hitch point
to the center of the axle or axles. The system
is designed to work with drawbars that have
a license plate to hitch ball center
measurement of
9–18 in (23–46 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 touchscreen shows if you are
going too slow or fast. Calibration pauses if
the speed is outside the required range of
2–9 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 the
system to locate the hitch ball as well as
determine the trailer length. Some trailers
could require you to drive straight then turn
multiple times before calibration completes.
The touchscreen provides instructions and
notifies you when calibration completes.
Note: For best results, do not calibrate the
system at night when calibrating.

SWITCHING TRAILER BACKUP
ASSISTANCE ON AND OFF Press the button and use the touchscreen
to select the connected trailer.
Note:
A trailer must be configured to use
trailer backup assistance. See Connecting
a Trailer (page 346).
Note: If you use the steering wheel when
using trailer backup assistance, the system
turns off and a message displays in the
touchscreen.
Note: If the trailer was connected just prior
to turning the system on, you may need to
drive forward to initialize the system. Follow
the instructions on the touchscreen to
activate the system.
USING THE TRAILER BACKUP
ASSISTANCE CONTROLLER
Use the control knob to steer the trailer. Take
your hands off the steering wheel and turn
the control knob instead. The control knob
acts as the steering control for the trailer. Turn and hold counterclockwise to make the
trailer go left.

Release the knob when the trailer is moving
in the direction you want.
Note:
The more you turn the knob, the
sharper the trailer turns.
Note: Quickly turning and releasing the knob
results in a jerky movement of the vehicle.
Note: You may have to use the knob to
correct the trailer direction when attempting
to move the trailer straight back under some
conditions. USING THE TRAILER BACKUP
ASSISTANCE VIEWS
Up to three camera views could be available
when using trailer backup assistance. Use
the view that helps you the most when
reversing your vehicle and trailer. 360° camera view. Shows a 360°
view on the right-hand side of the
touchscreen with a rear camera
view on the left-hand side of the
touchscreen. Rear view camera view. Shows
your trailer hitch or what is directly
behind your vehicle.
Trailer reverse guidance view.
Shows you a view of the sides of
your vehicle and the trailer. In auto
mode, this view moves as the trailer moves
so that you do not have to adjust the camera
as you turn. Left and right arrows let you see
other camera views. Auto. Press to return to auto view.Note:
Auto mode is the default setting.
Hitch Angle Graphic
The hitch angle graphic shows a small
representation of your vehicle 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 knob input.
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 your vehicle and
trailer back to an in-line position.

with minimal change to the trailer direction. Max Control Angle
Increases the trailer angle limit close to the
maximum controllable angle to allow sharper
turns but also causes more change in the
trailer direction when straightening out from
a turn.
