13    INTEGRATED TRAILER BRAKE 
CONTROLLER* assists in smooth and effective 
trailer braking by powering the trailer’s electric or 
electric over hydraulic brakes with a proportional 
output based on the towing vehicle’s  
brake pressure. 
   Use  the  GAIN adjustment buttons to increase or 
decrease the braking feature’s power output to the 
trailer. Adjust the GAIN by:
 
A.    Pressing the GAIN + or GAIN – buttons  
to increase or decrease the setting to the 
desired starting point. A GAIN setting  
of 6.0 is a good starting point for  
heavier loads.
 
B.  Testing the adjusted GAIN setting. 
   1.    In a traffic-free environment, tow the  
trailer on a dry, level surface at a speed of 
20-25 mph (30-40 km/h) and squeeze the 
manual control lever completely.
   2.   If the trailer wheels lock up (the tires will 
squeal), reduce the GAIN setting. If the trailer 
wheels turn freely, increase the  
GAIN setting.
   3.   The proper GAIN setting will be at the point 
just below trailer wheel lock-up. If towing a 
heavier trailer, trailer wheel lockup may not 
be attainable even with the maximum GAIN 
setting of 10.
For more information, please refer to the Towing 
chapter in your Owner’s Manual.
