Jeep Wrangler: Towing Requirements / Towing Requirements — Trailer Brakes
- Do not interconnect the hydraulic brake
system or vacuum system of your vehicle
with that of the trailer. This could cause inadequate
braking and possible personal injury.
- An electronically actuated trailer brake
controller is required when towing a trailer
with electronically actuated brakes. When
towing a trailer equipped with a hydraulic
surge actuated brake system, an electronic
brake controller is not required.
- Trailer brakes are recommended for trailers
over 1,000 lb (453 kg) and required for
trailers in excess of 2,000 lb (907 kg).
WARNING!
- Do not connect trailer brakes to your
vehicle's hydraulic brake lines. It can overload
your brake system and cause it to fail.
You might not have brakes when you need
them and could have an accident.
- Towing any trailer will increase your stopping
distance. When towing, you should
allow for additional space between your
vehicle and the vehicle in front of you.
Failure to do so could result in an accident.
CAUTION!
If the trailer weighs more than 1,000 lb
(453 kg) loaded, it should have its own
brakes and they should be of adequate
capacity. Failure to do this could lead to
accelerated brake lining wear, higher brake
pedal effort, and longer stopping distances.
Proper tire inflation pressures are essential
to the safe and satisfactory operation of your
vehicle.
Check the trailer tires for proper tire inflation
pressures before trailer usage...
Whenever you pull a trailer, regardless of the
trailer size, stoplights and turn signals on the
trailer are required for motoring safety.
The Trailer Tow Package may include a four- and
seven-pin wiring harness...
