Trailer Reverse Guidance
TRAILER REVERSE GUIDANCE –
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Why does the trailer not reverse
straight?
Verify the sticker has been positioned
correctly. Other factors such as the
hitch connection, road camber, road
slope and trailer suspension could
influence how straight the system can
reverse the trailer when the control
knob is not turned. You can
compensate for the trailer drifting to
the right or left by slowly turning the
knob until the trailer is following your
desired path and then holding the
knob in that position.
What does it mean if the system
remains on one message for an
extended time during calibration when
setting up the system with the sticker?
The camera could need to be cleaned,
the sticker could be blocked, the
drawbar could be outside the allowed
range of 4–19 in (10–48 cm) or you
could need to move to a different area
to change the lighting and background.
Verify the sticker is in the proper
location. See Applying the Trailer
Reverse Aid Sticker (page 357). You
can move to a different area or change
the direction you are driving or set up
the system at a different time of day.
Some trailers are not compatible with
the sticker and camera system.
What does it mean if the system pauses
during calibration?
There could be steering input or trailer
movement during the straight drive
portion of the calibration process.

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
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 touchscreen 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.
