How can I customize braking for different loads and road conditions?

The controller provides multiple adjustment options so you can balance trailer braking to match cargo weight, road grade, and towing speed. Use boost settings and the manual lever for short-term changes, and set overall gain for long-term tuning.

• Three-level boost to increase initial brake force when needed
• Manual lever for on-demand braking during maneuvers or emergency stops
• Digital display shows current gain and connection status at a glance
