– FREQUENTLY ASKED
QUESTIONS
Why does the trailer not reverse
straight?
Verify the sticker is correctly applied.
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?
The camera could need to be cleaned,
the sticker could be blocked, the
drawbar could be outside the allowed
range of 9–18 in (23–46 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
Reversing Aid Sticker (page 357).
You can move to a different area or
change the direction you are driving or
setup 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.
