Towing Requirements — Trailer Brakes



Do not interconnect the hydraulic brake

system or vacuum system of your vehicle

with that of the trailer. This could cause inad

equate braking and possible personal injury.



An electronically actuated trailer brake

controller is required when towing a trailer

with electronically actuated brakes. When

towing a trailer equipped with a hydraulic

surge actuated brake system, an electronic

brake controller is not required.



Trailer brakes are recommended for trailers

over 1,000 lbs (453 kg) and required for

trailers in excess of 2,000 lbs (907 kg).

Integrated Trailer Brake Module —

If Equipped

Your vehicle may have an Integrated Trailer

Brake Module (ITBM) for Electric and Electric

Over Hydraulic (EOH) trailer brakes.

NOTE:

This module has been designed and verified

with electric trailer brakes and new EOH

systems. Some previous EOH systems may not

be compatible with ITBM.

Integrated Trailer Brake Module (ITBM)

The user interface consists of the following:
GAIN Adjustment Buttons (+/-)
Pushing these buttons will adjust the brake

control power output to the trailer brakes in

0.5 increments. The GAIN setting can be

increased to a maximum of ten or decreased to

a minimum of zero (no trailer braking).

WARNING!



Do not connect trailer brakes to your

vehicle's hydraulic brake lines. It can over

load your brake system and cause it to fail.

You might not have brakes when you need

them and could have an accident.



Towing any trailer will increase your stop

ping distance. When towing, you should

allow for additional space between your

vehicle and the vehicle in front of you.

Failure to do so could result in an accident.

CAUTION!

If the trailer weighs more than 1,000 lbs

(453 kg) loaded, it should have its own

brakes and they should be of adequate

capacity. Failure to do this could lead to

accelerated brake lining wear, higher brake

pedal effort, and longer stopping distances.
