Installation and Owner’s Manual
(For Aftermarket Applications)
3. Caravan brakes must be burnished to ensure proper
caravan braking. New electric brakes may contain a
coating to prevent rust during shipping. An unburnished
brake will reduce caravan braking capacity. The tow
vehicle operator must ensure caravan brakes are properly
vehicle. Sway Command
may not operate properly with
improperly burnished brakes. Discuss brake burnishing
with the caravan OEM.
4. Improperly adjusted tyre pressure can reduce braking
pressure must be adjusted to the tyre manufacturer’s
recommended pressure.
5. Tyres must have useful tread life left to ensure proper
braking. Tyre tread below useful life could cause the
caravan to skid during braking. The tow operator must
ensure tyres have useful tread left.
6. Improperly loaded caravans can be a source of sway. At
higher speeds, if the caravan naturally sways, the tongue
weight and/or caravan weight distribution must be adjusted.
Sway Command
could activate frequently in this situation
causing excessive brake wear. Ensure proper hitch tongue
weights are observed for the caravan.
7. The tow operator must ensure Sway Command
is
operational by observing the Sway Command
light pod
status. Ensure the light pod is illuminated green. See Sway
Command
Status light for status other than green.
8. The operator should operate the tow vehicle as safely
as driving and weather conditions allow. Sway Command
relies on braking and tyre grip to mitigate sway, and overall
slippery/icy driving conditions.
Sway Command Controller

1. When Sway Command
detects excessive sway, the
light pod will blink red and the tow operator may feel the
caravan brakes activate until the sway is dampened.

See troubleshooting for a description of the various
blink codes.
3. Sway Command

minutes when it senses no tow vehicle brake activation
or movement.
4. The Sway Command
powers down.
Light Codes and
Troubleshooting
In the event a tow vehicle brake controller detects a fault
