3.
When you plug in a trailer with electric or
electric-over-hydraulic brakes, a message
confirming connection appears in the
information display.
4. Use the gain adjustment to find the desired starting point. A gain setting of
6.0 is a good starting point for heavier
loads.
Note: Use the following steps to adjust the
gain setting whenever road, weather and
trailer, or vehicle loading conditions, change
from when you initially set the gain.
5. In a traffic-free environment, tow the trailer on a dry, level surface and squeeze
the manual control lever completely.
6. If the trailer wheels lock up, indicated by
squealing tires, reduce the gain setting.
If the trailer wheels turn freely, increase
the gain setting. Repeat Steps 5 and 6
until the gain setting is at a point just
below trailer wheel lock-up. If towing a
heavier trailer, trailer wheel lock-up may
not be attainable even with the maximum
gain setting of 10.
Note: Only perform this procedure at speeds
of approximately 20–25 mph (30–40 km/h). Note:
The trailer brake controller reduces
output at vehicle speeds below 11 mph
(18 km/h) so that trailer and vehicle braking
is not jerky or harsh. This feature is only
available when applying the brakes using
your vehicle's brake pedal, not the controller.
Note: Your vehicle's brake system and the
trailer brake system work independently of
each other. Changing the gain setting on the
controller does not affect the operation of
your vehicle's brakes whether you attach a
trailer or not.
Note: With the proper electrical connection,
pressing your vehicle brake pedal or using
the manual control lever illuminates both
trailer and vehicle brake lamps.
Note: When you switch the engine off, the
controller output is disabled and the display
and module shut down. The controller
module and display turn on when you switch
the ignition on. Adjusting the Trailer Brake Gain
Increase or decrease the amount
of gain in set increments.
A
Slide the control to engage the
trailer brakes.
B
Note: Adjust gain setting before using the
trailer brake controller for the first time.

PRECAUTIONS WARNING: If your vehicle has been
involved in a crash, have the fuel system
checked. Failure to follow this instruction
could result in fire, personal injury or death.
RE-ENABLING YOUR VEHICLE
1. Switch the ignition off.
2. Attempt to start your vehicle.
3. Switch the ignition off.
4. Attempt to start your vehicle.

ACCESSING THE FRONT TOWING
POINT WARNING:
Using recovery hooks is
dangerous and should only be done by a
person familiar with proper vehicle
recovery safety practices. Improper use of
recovery hooks may cause hook failure or
separation from the vehicle and could
result in serious injury or death. WARNING:
Slowly remove the slack
from the recovery strap prior to pulling.
Failure to do so can introduce significantly
higher loads which can cause the recovery
hooks to break off, or the recovery strap
to fail which can cause serious injury or
death. WARNING:
Never link two straps
together with a clevis pin. These heavy
metal objects could become projectiles if
the strap breaks and can cause serious
injury or death.

2022 Navigator (TB9) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, Edition date: 202109, First-Printing Crash and Breakdown Information

WARNING: Switch the ignition off
before removing the recovery hook. Failure
to do so could result in personal injury. WARNING:
The recovery hook can
become hot. Let the recovery hook cool
down before removing it. Failure to do so
could result in personal injury.
Your vehicle has frame-mounted front
recovery hooks.
Note: Do not apply a load to the recovery
hooks that is greater than the gross vehicle
weight rating of your vehicle.
Before using recovery hooks:
• Make sure all attaching points are secure
and capable of withstanding the applied
load.
• Do not use chains, cables or tow straps
with metal hook ends.
• Only use recovery straps that have a
minimum breaking strength two to three
times the gross vehicle weight of the
stuck vehicle. •
Make sure the recovery strap is in good
condition and free of visible cuts, tears
or damage.
• Use a damper device such as a tarp,
heavy blanket or piece of carpet, and
place it over the recovery strap to help
absorb the energy in the event the strap
breaks.
• Make sure the stuck vehicle is not loaded
heavier than its gross vehicle weight
rating specified on the certification label.
• Align the tow vehicle and stuck vehicle
in a straight line, within 10 degrees.
• Keep bystanders to the sides of the
vehicle, at a distance of at least twice the
length of the recovery strap. This helps
avoid injury from the hazard of a recovery
hook or strap breaking, or a vehicle
lurching into their path. TRANSPORTING THE VEHICLE

Make sure you properly secure your
vehicle to the tow vehicle.
Note: If you are unsure of the vehicle ’s
configuration, contact an authorized dealer.
RECREATIONALLY TOWING YOUR
VEHICLE - 4X4 WARNING: Do not disconnect the
battery when recreationally towing your

vehicle to freely roll. Make sure you press
and hold the brake pedal and the vehicle
is in a secure, safe position when you place

for recreational towing. An example of
recreational towing would be towing your
vehicle behind a motorhome. These
guidelines are to make sure that you do not
damage the transmission.
You can only tow your vehicle with all wheels
on the ground by placing the transfer case
in its neutral position and engaging the
recreational tow feature. Perform the
following steps after positioning your vehicle
behind the tow vehicle and properly securing
them together.
Note: Put your climate control system in
recirculated air mode to prevent exhaust
fumes from entering your vehicle. Note:
Failure to put the transfer case in its
neutral position can damage vehicle
components.
Note: You can check the towing status at
any time by opening the driver door or
turning the ignition to the accessory or on
position.
Neutral Tow Enabled Leave
Transmission in Neutral appears in the
instrument cluster display to confirm you can
