Warning: Towing increases your stopping
distance, even when the trailer is
equipped with its own braking system.
When towing, increase your following
distance and avoid situations that could
potentially cause heavy braking. Failure to
do so can result in a collision.
Warning: Observe all regulations and
legal requirements in your regional and
national jurisdictions that apply
specifically to trailer towing and brake
requirements. Many regions require a
breakaway switch, located on the tongue
of the trailer, to activate the trailer brakes
in the event that the trailer separates
from the vehicle. Failure to comply with
regulations can compromise your safety.
Warning: Follow the instructions provided
by the trailer brake manufacturer to
ensure that trailer brakes are properly
installed, adjusted, and maintained. Tesla
is not responsible for damages caused by
incorrect installation of trailer braking
systems.
Warning: Never attempt to connect trailer
brakes directly to the vehicle braking
system. Doing so can cause damage to
the vehicle and the trailer, and can cause
the braking system to malfunction,
resulting in serious injury or death.
