Trailer Brakes
If you are thinking of getting a trailer
that has brakes, be sure they are
electronically actuated. Do not
attempt to tap into your car's
hydraulic system. No matter how
successful it may seem, any attempt
to attach trailer brakes to your car's
hydraulic system will lower braking
effectiveness and create a potential
hazard.
See your trailer dealer for more
information on installing electric
brakes.
Trailer Lights
You can get an optional trailer
lighting connector for your car from
your dealer.
If you use a converter, you can get
an optional connector and pins that
mate with the connector in your car
from your dealer.
Since lighting and wiring vary in
trailer type and brand, you should
also have a qualified technician
install a suitable connector between
the car and the trailer.
Always consult your dealer before
connecting the trailer lights to your
car's lighting system.
(For some types)
Your car has a trailer lighting
connector located in the boot by the
left tail-light. Refer to the following
table for the wiring colour code.
