Overview of the Incredible Pro Trailer Backup Assist Feature in Ford Vehicles
Whether you're a longtime Ford owner or considering your first Ford purchase, there's no denying the bold innovations and customized features that Ford vehicles offer. One such feature is the Pro Trailer Backup Assist — a convenience-enhancing system specifically designed for Ford vehicles towing a gooseneck or 5th wheel trailer. This amazing, user-friendly feature makes reversing with a trailer attached to your vehicle easier and more manageable. However, to enjoy the benefits of this efficient feature, there are a few imperative setup steps that every user needs to understand.
Understanding the Features and Setup Procedure of Pro Trailer Backup Assist
First, ensuring a proper connection between your vehicle and the trailer is critical. Find a level surface, hook up your vehicle to the trailer, and align them by maneuvering your vehicle forward until both are in line with each other. To optimize the use of Pro Trailer Backup Assist's 5th wheel and gooseneck capabilities, a few additional components are needed. These include an accessible sensor kit and a 712-pin trailer connector. The sensor kit is equipped with a dock station sensor, housing, a ten-foot wire harness, and both sensor and wire harness tie-down straps. Positioning the sensor correctly is crucial for optimal function. Mount it on a vertical surface near the trailer's forefront with arrows pointing up. There are two attachment options: utilize the supplied adhesive mounting bracket or remove the bracket and use the tie straps. Please note, as you navigate turns with your vehicle, the sensor must rotate in conjunction with your trailer. When connecting the sensor's wiring harness, ensure that the red seal on the connector is entirely plugged and no longer visible. Finally, calibrating the system is the last but essential step. This operation involves driving your vehicle straight forward then turning left or right at approximately five miles per hour. Conveniently, the center screen and information screen will provide real-time instructions and promptly alert you when the system is ready for you to make your turn. Upon completion of calibration, an informative display pops up to confirm that the calibration process was successful.
