6. Press the UP or DOWN buttons until Trailer
Brake Type appears on the screen.
7. Press the RIGHT arrow and then press the
UP or DOWN buttons until the proper Trailer
Brake Type appears on the screen.
8. In a traffic-free environment, tow the trailer
on a dry, level surface at a speed of 20–
25 mph (30–40 km/h) and squeeze the
manual brake control lever completely.
9. If the trailer wheels lockup (indicated by
squealing tires), reduce the GAIN setting; if
the trailer wheels turn freely, increase the
GAIN setting.
Repeat steps 8 and 9 until the GAIN setting is at
a point just below trailer wheel lockup. If towing
a heavier trailer, trailer wheel lockup may not be
attainable even with the maximum GAIN setting
of 10.

Display Messages
The trailer brake control interacts with the Elec-
tronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) or Driver
Information Display (DID). Display messages,
along with a single chime, will be displayed when
a malfunction is determined in the trailer connec-
tion, trailer brake control, or on the trailer. Refer to
“Electronic Vehicle Information Center” or “Driver
Information Display” in “Understanding Your In-
strument Panel” for further information.
CAUTION!
Connecting a trailer that is not compatible
with the ITBM system may result in reduced
or complete loss of trailer braking. There
may be a increase in stopping distance or
trailer instability which could result in dam-
age to your vehicle, trailer, or other property.
