Trailer brakes

Electric brakes and manual, automatic or surge-type trailer brakes are

safe if installed properly and adjusted to the manufacturer’s

specifications. The trailer brakes must meet local and Federal

regulations.

WARNING: Do not connect a trailer’s hydraulic brake system

directly to your vehicle’s brake system. Your vehicle may not

have enough braking power and your chances of having a collision

greatly increase.

WARNING: Do not operate Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)

when towing a trailer equipped with brakes. Aftermarket trailer

brakes will not function properly when ACC is activated, which may

lead to loss of vehicle control, increasing the risk of serious injury.

The braking system of the tow vehicle is rated for operation at the

GVWR not GCWR.

Trailer lamps

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

lights, brake lights, turn signals and hazard lights are working. Do not

connect trailer lamps directly to your vehicle’s tail lamps. This can cause

damage to your vehicle’s electrical system. Contact your authorized

dealer or trailer rental agency for proper instructions and equipment for

hooking-up trailer lamps.

WARNING: Never connect any trailer lighting to the vehicle’s

tail lamp circuits, because it may damage the electrical system

resulting in fire. Contact your authorized dealer as soon as possible for

assistance in proper trailer tow wiring installation. Additional electrical

equipment may be required.
