QUICK START GUIDE
What is the Pro Trailer Backup Assist?
The Pro Trailer Backup Assist control knob on your instrument panel will forever change how you look at backing up a trailer.
Turn the knob in the direction you want the trailer to go and the system takes over the steering to get it there. This frees you to focus on monitoring the mirrors and applying the brake and accelerator.
The setup starts with you placing a sticker in a specific spot on your trailer, taking a few measurements and entering them into the system.
It is very important to follow the setup procedure carefully to ensure correct placement of the sticker. This guide walks you through that process, step by step, and lets you be on your way.
Let's get started!
