Depending on your trailer configuration and any equipment mounted to your trailer it is possible for the sticker to be blocked from view of the camera as it rotates on the hitch ball but not be blocked during setup. Remove the obstruction if possible. It is necessary to remove the sticker from its current location if the obstruction cannot be cleared and place a new sticker that is visible to the camera in all positions of the trailer behind your vehicle. • Placing the sticker on a surface angled away from the vehicle reduces performance. Use a drawbar that positions the trailer level to the ground when attached to vehicle. This typically provides a level surface to mount the sticker. Place the sticker on a bracket or other object when no level surface is available. • Make sure the entire sticker is on a flat surface that is completely visible to the camera. Do not fold the sticker over an edge on the trailer frame. This can degrade performance. • Shadows on the sticker may effect tracking performance under some lighting conditions. Moving the sticker to another location within the allowed placement area may improve performance. Use the change sticker option in your Towing menu if you move the sticker.
