INTEGRATED TRAILER BRAKE MODULE
• The Integrated Trailer Brake Controller allows you to automatically or manually
activate the electronic brakes on properly equipped trailers for greater
stopping power on downhill grades. The controller and status display are on
the instrument panel to the left of the steering wheel, and the included control
lever can activate the trailer brakes independent of the truck's brakes.
GAIN Adjustment Buttons (+/-)
• Pressing the +/- buttons, located on the left side of the module, will
increase/decrease 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).
• Refer to your Owner's Manual on the DVD for further details.
WARNING!
The ITBM module has been designed and verified for electric trailer brakes.
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 personal injury.
