Step by step.
- 01
Safely hitch a compatible box-type trailer under 32 feet and install the Chevrolet accessory camera centered on the trailer rear, using its installation instructions.
- 02
Connect the accessory camera to the exterior-view camera outlet by the truck's license plate, then cycle the truck off and on so the camera is recognized.
- 03
Open the Trailering app on the infotainment screen and select an existing trailer profile or create a new one.
- 04
Choose Towing Assistance Setup, then Transparent Trailer and Yes, Get Started.
- 05
Measure and enter the trailer dimensions exactly as the screen requests, using the trailer box width rather than including its wheels.
- 06
On a flat, well-marked road in good light and weather, drive straight below 31 mph until calibration completes; the view then becomes available in the Camera app.
Important limits
- Transparent Trailer View is a visibility aid, not a substitute for mirrors, direct observation or attentive driving.
- The conventional trailer must be a compatible box/enclosed design under 32 feet; not every trailer or accessory installation is compatible.
- Calibration can pause or take longer with excessive steering, speeds above 31 mph, poor light, heavy rain, snow, gravel or incorrect dimensions.
Quick checks.
- ✓If the view is unavailable, confirm the camera is plugged into the exterior-view outlet and restart the truck so it can recognize the accessory.
- ✓If calibration stalls, clean all camera lenses, verify the accessory camera angle and location, and retry straight below 31 mph in better conditions.
- ✓If the icon remains grayed out, verify the truck's exact package on its window sticker and confirm that the trailer profile contains accurate dimensions.
