I have a 2010 HSE - I have had a few trailers on the back but have never had this tow assist message. Is it only an option with surround cameras?


edit: Just seen that you do actually need the surround cameras for the system to work

Don't get too excited about tow assist. I have never reversed a trailer actually using the screen because it doesn't give a clear enough view, I only ever rely on the mirrors and looking over my shoulder. (I know which way the trailer will go depending on which way I am turning the steering wheel, which is all tow assist seems to do)

Also the most useful thing would be hitching up to line up the tow ball with hitch, but despite years of trying I have never got this to work. I have set the system up with target, trailer dimensions etc etc, but if I reverse up to the trailer the camera never finds the target. It only ever shows the red box on the screen after I have been towing, disconnected the trailer, driven off and then put the car in reverse... then red box appears.

It would be great if someone could tell me what, if anything I am doing wrong. (I have the full surround cameras, and tow assist works on the screen, its just no use at hitching up, especially as the D4 camera is not centrally placed)

I don't have the surround camera system, only rear and I have the hitching up line.
You have to select it in the camera setting where you can choose to have;
Car width lines (Static image),
Predicted wheel path (2 lines that move with the steering)
Tow Hitch path (single line from the tow ball that moves with steering, disables the 2 options above)

When the Tow hitch path is active, once the hitch gets within a few feet the image automatically zooms in for a closer view. Its digital zoom so gets a bit grainy but does the job well for hitching up.

Can do some pics of the screen next time I go out if you like.
