5. Istruzioni per l'uso

Once installed and properly programmed, the Mopar Integrated Trailer Brake Module operates automatically when a trailer equipped with electric brakes is connected to your vehicle's trailer wiring harness.

Caratteristiche operative principali:

• Attivazione automatica: The module will detect a connected trailer with electric brakes and become active.
• Brake Gain Adjustment: The integrated dial knob allows you to adjust the amount of braking force applied to the trailer. Turn the knob clockwise to increase braking force and counter-clockwise to decrease it. Adjust the gain to achieve smooth, synchronized braking between the vehicle and the trailer.
• Sostituzione manuale: Pushing the dial knob typically activates the trailer brakes independently of the vehicle's brakes, providing a manual override function. This can be useful for reducing trailer sway or testing the trailer brakes.
• Spia luminosa: The module's indicator light will typically illuminate only when a trailer with electric brakes is connected and the system is active. It may briefly illuminate at vehicle startup and then turn off if no trailer is detected.

Raccomandazione: Always test the brake gain setting in a safe area before driving on public roads. Start with a lower gain setting and gradually increase it until the trailer brakes are firm but do not lock up.
