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 Slide the manual control lever to the left
to turn on the trailer's electric brakes. They
work independently of the tow vehicle's
braking system. See Procedure for

trailer brakes.
1. Press the + and - buttons to adjust the
brake controller's power output to the
trailer brakes in 0.5 increments. You
can increase the gain setting to 10
