The user interface consists of the following:
Manual Brake Control Lever
Slide the manual brake control lever to the left to
activate power to the trailer’s electric brakes
independent of the tow vehicle’s brakes. If the
manual brake control lever is activated while the
brake is also applied, the greater of the two
inputs determines the power sent to the trailer
brakes.
The trailer and the vehicle’s brake lamps will
come on when either vehicle braking or manual
trailer brakes are applied.
Trailer Brake Status Indicator Light
This light indicates the trailer electrical connec-
tion status.
If no electrical connection is detected after the
ignition is turned on, pressing the GAIN adjust-
ment button or sliding the manual brake control
lever will display the GAIN setting for 10 sec-
onds and the “Trailer Brake Status Indicator
Light” will not be displayed.
If a fault is detected in the trailer wiring or the
Integrated Trailer Brake Module (ITBM), the
“Trailer Brake Status Indicator Light” will flash.
GAIN Adjustment Buttons (+/-)
Pressing 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 10 or decreased to a minimum
of 0 (no trailer braking).
GAIN
The GAIN setting is used to set the trailer brake
control for the specific towing condition and
should be changed as towing conditions
change. Changes to towing conditions include
trailer load, vehicle load, road conditions and
weather.
Adjusting GAIN
NOTE:
This should only be performed in a traffic
free environment at speeds of approxi-
mately 20–25 mph (30–40 km/h).
1. Make sure the trailer brakes are in good
working condition, functioning normally and
properly adjusted. See your trailer dealer if
necessary.
2. Hook up the trailer and make the electrical
connections according to the trailer manu-
facturer’s instructions.
3. When a trailer with electric/EOH brakes is
plugged in, the trailer connected message
should appear in the EVIC/DID (if the con-
nection is not recognized by the ITBM, brak-
ing functions will not be available), the GAIN
setting will illuminate and the correct type of
trailer must be selected from the EVIC/DID
options.
4. Press the UP or DOWN button on the steer-
ing wheel until “TRAILER TOW” appears on
the screen.
5. Press the RIGHT arrow on the steering
wheel to enter “TRAILER TOW”.
