STARTING AND OPERATING
Using TRSC
Trailer Reverse Steering Control Knob
To use the system, place the gear selector in PARK. Push
the TRSC button located above the TRSC knob in the
center stack. The LED on the button will glow solid and the
instrument cluster display will direct you to shift to
REVERSE. Once in REVERSE the system is active. Remove
hands from the steering wheel and slowly back up while
turning the TRSC knob in the direction you want the trailer
to go. A trajectory line will show the intended path of the
trailer on the radio display. Turning the knob clockwise will
cause the trailer to turn right. Turning the knob
counterclockwise will cause the trailer to turn left. If you
release the knob, it will return to its center position, and
the trailer will back up in a straight line.
Continue to control the accelerator and brake while
backing the trailer up. The following graphics will display
on the radio screen to warn the user if the trailer is
approaching a jackknife angle. Left or right zones in the
graphic will change color based on which side the event
occurs.
An orange arch will display when approaching a
jackknife angle.
A red arch will display when reaching the
jackknife angle.
NOTE:
While active, TRSC will automatically disable the Rear Park
Assist system if it was previously enabled.
The TRSC system will limit the top speed your vehicle can
travel in REVERSE while using the feature. If needed, you
can shift to DRIVE or NEUTRAL to pull forward to get more
room or straighten out the trailer, and shift back to
REVERSE without the need to reactivate the feature.
The feature will cancel after 30 seconds in DRIVE or when
the vehicle speed reaches 8 mph (12 km/h).
To cancel out of the feature, come to a stop and shift to
PARK, or push the TRSC activation button.
