You can set-up a trailer to work with the blind spot information system through the touchscreen by using the add trailer menu.
- Input the trailer name and trailer type, conventional, gooseneck or fifth wheel, then save to continue trailer setup.
Note: The system only supports conventional trailers.
- Trailer width measurement. Measure the width at the front of the trailer. It is not measured at the widest point of the trailer. The maximum width at the front of the trailer the system can support is 8.5 ft (2.6 m).
Note: If the trailer is a bike rack or cargo rack with electrical lighting, enter a length of around 3 ft (1 m). Cross traffic alert remains on for trailers with a length of 3 ft (1 m) or less.
Note: The system requires proper measurement and measure entry to properly function.
SELECTING A TRAILER
When you connect a trailer to your vehicle, the trailer set up menu appears in the touchscreen. This menu allows you to set up a new trailer or choose from a previously set up trailer. A warning message appears and the system turns off if you do not choose or add a new trailer.
Note: The warning message may not appear until your vehicle reaches 22 mph (35 km/h).
