Trailer brake controller
The trailer brakes can be con-
trolled by the trailer brake control-
ler via the 7-pin connector. By
selecting the type of brakes that are
being used on the trailer (electric
or electric-over-hydraulic) and set-
ting the “Gain” for the controller,
the manual brake slider is used to
slow just the trailer. The vehicle
brake pedal will also slow down as
well as stop the trailer when
applied, also via the same connec-
tor. “Gain” values, manual brake
outputs, trailer brake types, and the
trailer connection status are dis-
played in the multi-information dis-
play.

faces
When stopping with ABS activated, out-
put to the trailer might be reduced in
order to reduce the likelihood of trailer
wheels to lock. The trailer is not
equipped with ABS. Drive safely on slip-
pery road surfaces.
