to make sure the trailer brakes
are functioning normally and
adjusted appropriately. Failure to
check and maintain trailer brakes
may result in loss of vehicle con-
trol, crash, or serious injury.

work with most electric and elec-
tric-overhydraulic trailer braking
systems up to 3 axles (24A output
to trailer brakes). Please be sure
to test compatibility with the sys-
tem at low speeds and in a safe
area. If a warning message
appears in the multi-information

cle inspected by your Toyota
dealer immediately. Some elec-
tric-over-hydraulic trailer brakes
will take some minimum output to
