Adjusting GAIN

NOTE:

This should only be performed in a traffic free

environment at speeds of approximately 20–25 mph
(30–40 km/h).

1. Make sure the trailer brakes are in good working

condition, functioning normally and properly ad-
justed. See your trailer dealer if necessary.

2. Hook up the trailer and make the electrical connec-

tions according to the trailer manufacturer’s instruc-
tions.

3. When a trailer with electric/EOH brakes is plugged

in, the trailer connected message should appear in the
EVIC (if the connection is not recognized by the ITBM,
braking functions will not be available), the GAIN
setting will illuminate and the correct type of trailer
must be selected from the EVIC options.

4. Press the UP or DOWN button on the steering wheel

until “TRAILER TOW” appears on the screen.

5. Press the RIGHT arrow on the steering wheel to enter

“TRAILER TOW”.

6. Press the UP or DOWN buttons until Trailer Brake

Type appears on the screen.

7. Press the RIGHT arrow and then press the UP or

DOWN buttons until the proper Trailer Brake Type
appears on the screen.

8. 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 brake control lever com-
pletely.

9. If the trailer wheels lockup (indicated by squealing

tires), reduce the GAIN setting; if the trailer wheels
turn freely, increase the GAIN setting.
