Roadmaster Brake Pressure Reducer for Vehicles with Active Braking Systems

With the Roadmaaster Brake Pressure Reducer, you can now install BrakeMaster in a Ford Escape or Mercury Mariner hybrid, a Hummer H3, or any vehicle with a full-time 'active' power braking system. By working in conjunction with these braking systems, the Brake Pressure Reducer delivers a correspondingly reduced braking pressure that eliminates over-braking issues. In addition to BrakeMaster, the Brake Pressure Reducer will work with other supplemental braking systems which use pressurized air to brake the towed vehicle. It connects to the air line in just a few minutes, adjust the variable control to set and lock in the precise braking pressure. Vehicles with active braking systems are designed so that even when the engine is off, the braking system is still active, thus requiring minimal pressure to engage the brakes. The following vehicles have been identified by Roadmaster as having full-time active power braking systems: Ford Escape hybrid, Hummer H3, Lexus GX 470, Mazda Tribute hybrid, Mercury Mariner hybrid, Toyota Tacoma. Other vehicles may also have these systems. It is the owner's responsibility to determine if the vehicle being equipped with a BrakeMaster has an active braking system, refer to the owner's manual or dealership.
