Integrated Trailer Brake Controller Precautions

WARNING: Use the integrated trailer brake controller to properly adjust the trailer brakes and check all connections before towing a trailer. Failure to follow this instruction could result in the loss of control of your vehicle, personal injury or death.

Only use the manual control lever for proper adjustment of the gain during trailer setup. Misuse, such as application during trailer sway, could cause instability of the trailer or tow vehicle.
Avoid towing in adverse weather conditions. The trailer brake controller does not provide anti-lock control of the trailer wheels. Trailer wheels can lock up on slippery surfaces, resulting in reduced stability of the trailer and tow vehicle.
The trailer brake controller is a factory-installed or dealer-installed item only. Ford is not responsible for warranty or performance of the trailer brake controller due to misuse or customer installation.

Note: Do not attempt to remove the trailer brake controller without consulting the Workshop Manual. Damage to the unit may result.

Note: Make sure to set the integrated trailer brake controller gain to 0 if you are using an aftermarket trailer brake controller.
