Refer to the aftermarket
electric trailer brake controller
owner's manual to determine
wire color coding of the
electric trailer brake controller.
The wire colors on the brake
controller may be different
from the vehicle. The electric
trailer brake controller should
be installed by your dealer or a
qualified service center.
If equipped, there are four
blunt cut wires inside the front
driver side instrument panel.
It will be necessary to have a technician connect the 12-volt
power to the engine
compartment fuse block.
Trailer Lamps
Always check that all trailer
lamps are working at the
beginning of each trip, and
periodically on longer trips.
Turn Signals When
Towing a Trailer
When properly connected, the
trailer turn signals will
illuminate to indicate the
vehicle is turning, changing
lanes, or stopping. When
towing a trailer, the arrows on
the instrument cluster will
illuminate even if the trailer is
not properly connected or the
bulbs are burned out.
Trailer Sway
Control (TSC)
Vehicles with StabiliTrak/
Electronic Stability Control
(ESC) have a Trailer Sway
Control (TSC) feature. Trailersway is unintended
side-to-side motion of a trailer
while towing. If the vehicle is
towing a trailer and the TSC
detects that sway is
increasing, the vehicle brakes
are selectively applied at each
wheel, to help reduce
excessive trailer sway.
If equipped with the
Integrated Trailer Brake
Control (ITBC) system, and the
trailer has an electric brake
system, StabiliTrak/ESC may
also apply the trailer brakes.
If TSC is enabled, the Traction
Control System (TCS)/
StabiliTrak/ESC warning light
will flash on the instrument
cluster. Reduce vehicle speed
by gradually removing your
foot from the accelerator.
If trailer sway continues,

Headlamp Aiming
Front Headlamp
Aiming
Headlamp aim has been preset
and should need no further
adjustment.
If the vehicle is damaged in a
crash, the headlamp aim may
be affected. If adjustment to
the headlamps is necessary,
see your dealer.
Bulb Replacement
For the proper type of
replacement bulbs, or any bulb
changing procedure not listed
in this section, contact your
dealer.
Caution
Do not replace incandescent
bulbs with aftermarket LED
replacement bulbs. This can
cause damage to the vehicle
electrical system.
LED Lighting
This vehicle has several LED
lamps. For replacement of any
LED lighting assembly, contact
your dealer.
Electrical System
Electrical System
Overload
The vehicle has fuses and
circuit breakers to protect
against an electrical system
overload.
When the current electrical
load is too heavy, the circuit
breaker opens and closes,
protecting the circuit until the
current load returns to normal
or the problem is fixed. This
greatly reduces the chance of
circuit overload and fire
caused by electrical problems.
Fuses and circuit breakers
protect power devices in the
vehicle.If there is a problem on the
road and a fuse needs to be
replaced, the same amperage
fuse can be borrowed. Choose
some feature of the vehicle
that is not needed to use and
replace it as soon as possible.
To check a fuse, look at the
band inside the fuse. If the
band is broken or melted,
replace the fuse. Be sure to
replace a bad fuse with a fuse
of the identical size and rating.
