Auto Trailer Detection (ATD)
Auto Trailer Detection (ATD) detects
if a trailer is attached by using the
Trailer Brake Controller (TBC) or the
Blind Spot Monitor (BSM) sensors.
●
Trailers that use TBC can be
detected by using the 7-pin trailer
brake connectors.
●
Other types of trailers can be
detected using the BSM sensors.
●
When a trailer is detected via BSM
or TBC, RCTA function will be dis-
abled.
●
As soon as the trailer is detected,
the detection area will be
extended to a maximum length of
approximately 16 ft. (15 m) from
the rear bumper of the truck.
●
If the trailer does not have a 7-pin
connector, or the 7-pin connector
is not engaged, the trailer is
detected via the BSM sensor. In
this case PKSB and Intuitive park-
ing assist functions will not be dis-
abled.

Vehicles that can be detected by the Blind Spot Monitor
■
The Blind Spot Monitor uses rear side radar sensors to detect the fol-
lowing vehicles traveling in adjacent lanes and advises the driver of
the presence of such vehicles via the indicators on the outside rear
view mirrors.

In order to estimate the trailer length
with TLD function and detection
area, make at least two 90 degree
turns.
If the trailer length is entered manu-
ally via multi-information display
input, the detection area is also
adjusted to exceed the length of the
trailer.

engagement of 7-pin connector,
the vehicle should be moving for-
ward at speed of above 0.6 mph
(1 km/h) for at least 10 seconds.
ATD function is triggered at every
engine switch on/off cycle or if the
vehicle is stopped in shift the shift
lever is in P or N for more than 90
seconds.
Trailer detection vis BSM sensors
may be delayed if the vehicle is in
a crowded environment such as
busy parking lot, area surrounded
with trees (camping ground) or in
an environment with objects in the
immediate environment that pre-
vent sensors from sufficiently
detecting the trailer.
Trailer Length Detection (TLD)
Once a trailer is detected and if
the trailer length in the meter is
selected as "Auto", the TLD func-
tion will estimate the trailer length
using the Blind Spot Monitor sen-
sors.
Depending on some trailer types
and the dimensions of the trailer
TMW performance may be
degraded.
