Once you input your trailer’s information into the touchscreen, it is stored for easy recall. That
way, when you want to use the Pro Trailer Backup Assist with Trailer Reverse Guidance system to
help you back your trailer into your desired position, you can choose it from the touchscreen. You
will not have to run through this setup again unless you want to add another trailer. You can store
information for up to 10 trailers within this feature.
