Towing Requirements – Trailer Brakes
− Do not interconnect the hydraulic brake system or vacuum system of your vehicle with that of the trailer.
This could cause inadequate braking and possible personal injury.
− An electronically-actuated trailer brake controller is required when towing a trailer with electronically actuated brakes. When towing a trailer equipped with a hydraulic surge-actuated brake system, an electronic brake controller is not required.
− Trailer brakes are recommended for trailers over 1,000 lbs (454 kg) and required for trailers in excess of 2,000 lbs (907 kg).
CAUTION!
If the trailer weighs more than 1,000 lbs (454 kg) loaded, it should have its own
brakes and they should be of adequate capacity. Failure to do this could lead to
accelerated brake lining wear, higher brake pedal effort, and longer stopping distances.
WARNING!
• Do not connect trailer brakes to your vehicle’s hydraulic brake lines. It can
overload your brake system and cause it to fail. You might not have brakes when
you need them and could have an collision.
• Towing any trailer will increase your stopping distance. When towing, you should allow for additional space between your vehicle and the vehicle in front of you. Failure to do so could result in a collision.
