STARTING AND OPERATING 209
TRAILER REVERSE STEERING
CONTROL — IF EQUIPPED
Feature Overview
Trailer Reverse Steering Control (TRSC) is a feature that
will assist the driver when backing up a trailer. Use the
TRSC knob, located on the center stack, to more
accurately control the direction of the trailer.
The driver controls the accelerator and brake while using
the TRSC knob to steer. The trailer is steered according to
the direction the knob is turned.
This feature will also allow the driver to back up a vehicle
and trailer in a straight line when the knob is in the center
position.
Minimal setup is required to use this feature.
Set Up:
To use the system, attach your trailer to the truck and
ensure all electrical wiring is connected
Ú page 215.
Make sure that the cable is secured out of the camera
view and does not interfere with any part of the rear-view
image as it may impact system performance.
During normal forward driving, the system will
automatically calibrate the attached trailer provided that
the driving incorporates calibration maneuvers such as
going straight and 90-degree turns. If the vehicle has not
had enough time to automatically calibrate after
connecting a trailer, you will see a “Calibrate Trailer”
message in the instrument cluster when pressing the
TRSC button to activate the system. The TRSC button is
located above the TRSC knob. If this is the case, perform
the following maneuver to calibrate the trailer:
Drive forward at least 100 ft (30 m), perform a 90 degree
turn and return to a straight position for at least another
100 ft (30 m). Perform another 90 degree turn, followed
by another straight drive of at least 100 ft (30 m). Check
that the system has calibrated by pushing the TRSC
button.
NOTE:
The 90 degree turns could be in either the left or right
direction.
Trailer Reverse Steering Control Calibration
Turn Signal Activated Blind Spot Assist will be
unavailable during the calibration procedure.
Instead of the Blind Spot camera view, an
image showing the unavailable feature will
display on the radio screen when the turn signal is used.
NOTE:
Turn Signal Activated Blind Spot Assist will function
normally during automatic calibration.
