13 INTEGRATED TRAILER BRAKE
CONTROLLER* assists in smooth and effective
trailer braking by powering the trailer’s electric or
electric over hydraulic brakes with a proportional
output based on the towing vehicle’s
brake pressure.
Use the GAIN adjustment buttons to increase or
decrease the braking feature’s power output to the
trailer. Adjust the GAIN by:

A. Pressing the GAIN + or GAIN – buttons
to increase or decrease the setting to the
desired starting point. A GAIN setting
of 6.0 is a good starting point for
heavier loads.

B. Testing the adjusted GAIN setting.
1. 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 control lever completely.
2. If the trailer wheels lock up (the tires will
squeal), reduce the GAIN setting. If the trailer
wheels turn freely, increase the
GAIN setting.
3. The proper GAIN setting will be at the point
just below trailer wheel lock-up. If towing a
heavier trailer, trailer wheel lockup may not
be attainable even with the maximum GAIN
setting of 10.
For more information, please refer to the Towing
chapter in your Owner’s Manual.

at any time to return to your home screen. The system provides
easy interaction with your cellular phone, multimedia entertainment, climate controls and navigation system*.

the phone number. Just say the name of

other features:

operator in the event of an accident
(you must switch this feature on prior

street address”.
2. The system asks you to say the full
address and then displays an example
on-screen.

a destination and narrow your choices by
city or street as you type. You can choose
