Note: You can calibrate within the Trailer Backup Assist or Trailer Reverse Guidance system.
An area where you can safely drive forward and turn left or right is required to calibrate your system. An
open parking lot is an ideal place to perform the calibration. During calibration, the system determines the
trailer length. Drive straight at approximately 5 mph to align the trailer behind your vehicle.
The touchscreen provides you with instructions
and will tell you when the system is ready for
you to turn. Turn left or right whenever you are
ready and in a safe turning area.
When the calibration is complete, the touchscreen shows a message that calibration is complete. The
feature is now ready to use. Please refer to the Feature Operation section
how to operate the feature.
