Driving and Operating
This symbol is on the Trailer Brake Control
Panel on vehicles with an ITBC system. The
power output to the trailer brakes is
proportional to the amount of vehicle
braking. This available power output to the
trailer brakes can be adjusted to a wide
range of trailering situations.
The ITBC system is integrated with the
vehicle brakes, Antilock Brake System (ABS),
and StabiliTrak/Electronic Stability Control
(ESC) systems. In trailering conditions that
cause the vehicle s anti-lock brake or
StabiliTrak/ESC systems to activate, power
sent to the trailer's brakes will be
automatically adjusted to minimize trailer
wheel lock-up. This does not imply that the
trailer has StabiliTrak/ESC.
If the vehicle brakes, ABS, or StabiliTrak/ESC
systems are not functioning properly, the
ITBC system may not function fully or at all.
Make sure all of these systems are fully
operational to allow the ITBC system to
function properly.
The ITBC system is powered through the
vehicle's electrical system. Turning the
vehicle off will also turn off the ITBC
system. The ITBC system is fully functional
only when the vehicle is in ON/RUN.
Warning
Connecting a trailer that has an air brake
system may result in reduced or
complete loss of trailer braking, including
increased stopping distance or trailer
instability which could result in serious
injury, death, or property damage. Only
use the ITBC system with electric or
electric over hydraulic trailer brake
systems.
