Overview : Pro Trailer Backup Assist
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2020 Ford F-150. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE:
The PTBA system only works with conventional trailers. It does not work with other types including goose neck and fifth wheel.
The PTBA system aids the driver to steer the vehicle with a trailer attached while reversing or reverse parking. The PTBA control knob, located in the dashboard, allows the driver to control the direction of the trailer and control how much the system should turn the trailer. The PTBA system automatically steers the vehicle to turn the trailer the desired amount by taking over the steering while the driver remains in control of the accelerator and brakes. The system may limit vehicle speed to enhance the comfort and control over a variety of road surfaces.
