If your trailer is equipped with brakes, make sure they comply with the regulations of your country and that they are properly installed and functioning correctly.

If the weight of your trailer exceeds the maximum allowable weight without trailer brakes, the trailer will also require its own brakes. Be sure to read and follow the trailer brake instructions so you can install, adjust, and maintain them properly.

• Do not touch or modify your vehicle's brake system.

WARNING - Trailer Brakes

Do not tow a trailer with its own brakes unless you are absolutely sure that the brake system is correctly adjusted. This job is not for amateurs. Have an experienced, qualified trailer shop perform this work.
