Subaru Outback: Trailer brakes
WARNING
● Adequate size trailer brakes are required when the trailer and its cargo exceed
1,000 lbs (453 kg) total weight.
● Do not directly connect your trailer’s hydraulic brake system to the hydraulic
brake system in your vehicle. Direct connection would cause the vehicle’s brake
performance to deteriorate and could lead to an accident.
If your trailer’s total weight (trailer weight plus its cargo weight) exceeds
1,000 lbs (453 kg), the trailer is required to be equipped with its own brake system.
Electric brakes or surge brakes are recommended, and must be installed properly.
Check that your trailer’s brakes conform with Federal, state/province and/ or other
applicable regulations. Your SUBARU’s brake system is not designed to be tapped
into the trailer’s hydraulic brake system. Please ask your SUBARU dealer and professional
trailer supplier for more information about the trailer’s brake system.
