TEST DRIVE & ADJUSTMENT
Both the output and sensitivity can be adjusted to achieve
smooth, firm stops. Output and sensitivity adjustments
should only be made while stopped, with the transmission
in park or neutral, parking brake applied, foot off
the brake pedal, and no manual control actuation.
Perform tests and adjustments in a safe
environment (parking lot or in minimal traffic area).
Starting with the output adjustment, drive forward on a dry
and level paved or concrete surface. At approximately 25 mph,
apply the vehicle's brakes. If trailer braking is insufficient,
increase the max output setting in the OneControl
®
app. If the
trailer brakes lock up, decrease the max output. Repeat this
process until stops are firm, just short of lock up.
Once the output is set, adjust the sensitivity by driving forward
at approximately 25 mph and press the brake pedal. The vehicle
and trailer should make a smooth stop. If the stop seems slow
and more aggressive braking is desired, increase the sensitivity
level through the OneControl
®
app. If the stop seems too
aggressive, decrease the sensitivity level in the app.
Make several stops at various speeds and adjust the sensitivity
until stops are smooth and firm. Slight adjustment to the output
control may also be required to acheive desired results at all
test speeds. Note: If any problems occur during setup, refer
to the 'Troubleshooting Guide' on the last page of this manual.
This process must be repeated if there
are any changes to weather / road conditions or
significant changes in trailer weight or towing setup.
