Points to Remember:

• Remember to adjust gain setting before using the TBC for the first

time.

• Readjust GAIN setting on the TBC (according to procedure above)

whenever road, weather and trailer or vehicle loading conditions

change from those that existed when the gain was initially set.

• The sliding lever on the TBC should be used only for manual

activation of trailer brakes to assist with proper adjustment of the

GAIN. Misuse, such as application during trailer sway, could cause

instability of trailer and/or tow vehicle.

• Avoid towing in adverse weather conditions. The TBC does not

provide anti-lock control of the trailer wheels. Trailer wheels can

lock-up on slippery surfaces, resulting in reduced stability of trailer

and tow vehicle.

• The TBC interacts with the brake system of the vehicle, including

ABS, in order to reduce the likelihood of trailer wheel lockup.

Therefore, if these systems are not functioning properly the TBC may

not function at full performance.

• When the vehicle is turned off, the TBC Output is disabled and the

display is shut down. Reactivation of the ignition from OFF to RUN

will awaken the TBC module.

• The TBC is only a factory installed item. Ford is not responsible for

warranty or performance of the TBC due to misuse or out-of-factory

installation.

Trailer lamps

Trailer lamps are required on most towed vehicles. Make sure all running

lights, brake lights, turn signals and hazard lights are working. See your

dealer or trailer rental agency for proper instructions and equipment for

hooking up trailer lamps.

Using a step bumper (if equipped)

The rear bumper is equipped with an integral hitch and only requires a

ball with a one inch (25.4 mm) shank diameter. The bumper has a 5,000

lb. (2,270 kg) trailer weight and 500 lb. (227 kg) tongue weight capacity.

If it is necessary to relocate the trailer hitch ball position, a

frame-mounted trailer hitch must be installed.
