TRAILER BACKUP ASSISTANCE –FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Why does the trailer not reverse straight?
Verify the sticker is correctly applied.Other factors such as the hitchconnection, road camber, road slopeand trailer suspension could influencehow straight the system can reverse thetrailer when the control knob is notturned. You can compensate for thetrailer drifting to the right or left byslowly turning the knob until the traileris following your desired path andholding the knob in that position. Checkthat the correct trailer is selected in thetouchscreen. Verify the sticker iscorrectly applied and check that thedrawbar and the trailer dimensions arewithin the allowed range. If the trailerconsistently does not reverse straight,delete the trailer from the system andrepeat the setup process to calibratethe trailer.
What does it mean if the system remainson one message for an extended timeduring calibration?
The camera could need to be cleaned,the sticker could be blocked, thedrawbar could be outside the allowedrange of 9–18 in (23–46 cm) or youcould need to move to a different areato change the lighting and background.Verify the sticker is in the properlocation. See Applying the TrailerReversing Aid Sticker (page 364). Youcan move to a different area or changethe direction you are driving or set upthe system at a different time of day.Some trailers are not compatible withthe sticker and camera system.
What does it mean if the system pausesduring calibration?
There could be steering input or trailermovement during the straight driveportion of the calibration process.
What does it mean if the system displayshold steering steady during turn?
Part of the calibration process for thesticker setup requires a steady turn. Ifyou are continually moving the steeringwheel during the turn, this delays thecalibration process. To enable thecalibration process, hold the steeringwheel at the same position whenturning.
What does it mean if the system displaysthat it is not available?
There could be a sub-system that thesystem uses that is not correctlyoperating or there could be a batteryvoltage issue. If the system continuesto display it is not available, visit yourauthorized dealer to have your vehiclechecked.

What does it mean if the trailer is at itsmaximum angle or the system deactivatedby 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 could indicatethe sticker is incorrectly applied, thetrailer needs to be recalibrated or thedrawbar or the trailer dimensions areoutside of the supported range. Thesystem is designed to work withdrawbars that have a license plate tohitch ball center measurement of 9–18 in(23–46 cm) when installed. The systemis designed to work with trailers thathave a hitch point to center of the axleor axles measurement 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 could causeimproper system function. Check thatthe correct trailer is selected on the
touchscreen. Verify the sticker iscorrectly applied and check that thedrawbar and the trailer dimensions arewithin the allowed range. Then, deletethe trailer from the system and repeatthe setup process to calibrate the trailer.
What does it mean when the system tellsyou to take control of the steering wheel?
The system is no longer steering thevehicle and you must take over steering.There are four reasons the system coulddisplay this message. The first reasonthe system could display this messageis that you have touched the steeringwheel when the system is steering. Thesecond reason the system could displaythis message is that you have exceededthe maximum 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 the steering.
What does it mean if the system does notdetect a trailer?

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. SeeApplying the Trailer Reversing AidSticker (page 364). Some trailers are notcompatible with the sticker and camerasystem.
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 a differentpinhole on drawbars with more than one,connecting the drawbar to your vehicleaffects the trailer position and you may needto repeat the trailer setup and calibrationprocess.

DRIVING IN SPECIAL CONDITIONS
DRIVING THROUGH MUD AND WATER
Mud
Be cautious of sudden changes in vehiclespeed or direction when you are driving inmud. Even all-wheel drive and four-wheeldrive vehicles can lose traction in mud. Ifyour vehicle slides, steer in the direction ofthe slide until you regain control of yourvehicle. After driving through mud, clean offresidue stuck to rotating driveshafts and tires.Excess residue can cause an imbalance thatcould damage drive components.
Note:If your vehicle gets stuck in mud, itcould be rocked out by shifting betweenforward and reverse gears, stoppingbetween shifts in a steady pattern. Presslightly on the accelerator in each gear.
Note:Do not rock your vehicle if the engineis not at normal operating temperature, asdamage to the transmission could occur.
Note:Do not rock your vehicle for more thana minute, as damage to the transmissionand tires could occur or the engine couldoverheat.
Water
If you must drive though deep water, driveslowly. The water could limit traction or brakecapability. See Driving Through ShallowWater (page 386).
When driving though water, determine thedepth and avoid water higher than the centerof the wheel.
Once through water, always try the brakes.Wet brakes do not stop your vehicle asquickly as dry brakes. Apply light pressureto the brake pedal while slowly moving thevehicle to dry the brakes.
Note:Driving through deep water couldcause damage to the transmission. If thefront or rear axle is submerged in water,have the axle lubricant and power transferunit lubricant checked and changed ifnecessary.
DRIVING ON HILLY OR SLOPINGTERRAIN
WARNING: Extreme care should beused when steering the vehicle in reversedown a slope so as not to cause thevehicle to swerve out of control.
Although natural obstacles could make itnecessary to travel diagonally up or down ahill or steep incline, you should try to drivestraight up or straight down.
Note:Avoid turning on steep slopes or hills.A danger lies in losing traction, slippingsideways and possible vehicle roll over.Whenever driving on a hill, determinebeforehand the route you can use. Do notdrive over the crest of a hill without seeingwhat conditions are on the other side. Donot drive in reverse over a hill without theaid of an observer.

2023 Navigator (TB9) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, Edition date: 202207, DOMDriving Hints

Apply just enough power to the wheels toclimb the hill. Too much power causes thetires to slip, spin or lose traction, and youcould lose control of your vehicle. Whendescending a steep hill, do not descend thehill in neutral. Avoid sudden hard braking tokeep the front wheels rolling and to maintainyour vehicle's steering.
Note:Your vehicle has anti-lock brakes,apply the brakes steadily. Do not pump thebrakes.
Note:If your vehicle gets stuck driving onhilly or sloping terrain, it could be rocked outby shifting between forward and reversegears, stopping between shifts in a steadypattern. Press lightly on the accelerator ineach gear.
Note:Do not rock your vehicle if the engineis not at normal operating temperature, asdamage to the transmission could occur.
Note:Do not rock your vehicle for more thana minute, as damage to the transmissionand tires could occur or the engine couldoverheat.
DRIVING IN SAND
When driving over sand, try to keep all fourwheels on the most solid area of the trail. Steadily drive through the terrain. Apply theaccelerator slowly and avoid excessivewheel slip. Do not drive your vehicle in deepsand for an extended period of time. Thiscould overheat the system. A messageappears in the instrument cluster display.
