A guidance system for a vehicle reversing a trailer includes a display 61 and a controller configured to generate a steering icon 61 on display 60. The steering icon recommends a steering direction and a steering magnitude related to a steering device 23 of the vehicle in order to correct a deviation from an intended backing path, typically a straight path, and may include a directional element indicating a direction in which to turn steering device 23, for example arrows 62, 64 indicating a requirement for an anticlockwise or clockwise turn. The steering icon may also include a numerical or relational element 66 indicating the recommended amount by which steering device 23 should be turned, and a hold indication for instructing a driver to maintain the current steering position. The steering direction and magnitude may be determined at least in part by reference to the hitch angle of the trailer.
