We discovered that when using our supplemental brake (the Ready Brake) with the Ford C-Max hybrid Energi, you have to pull fuse #9 to disconnect the vacuum pump. If you don't pull the fuse, when the Ready Brake pulls on the brake pedal the car hops up and down.

This tow bar does not come with the steel clevises to hook to the baseplate, they are an extra charge. See below.

How the integrated ready brake works

When you brake while towing a vehicle behind an RV, stopping distance is increased due to the weight of the vehicle and it's momentum pushing against the RV.  The ReadyBrake uses this energy to compress a shock and spring inside it which allows an actuator arm to move forward, pulling down your towed vehicle brake pedal with an attached cable.  It takes a few hundred pounds of pressure to activate the ReadyBrake, so the towed vehicle will follow the RV down a steep mountain grade only applying brakes when you do.  After initial install, only an adjustable sling cable is used to connect or disconnect the ReadyBrake.  We recommend leaving about 2 inches of slack in the adjustable sling cable to keep the brake from activating while going over dips like at a gas station.  When the RV comes to a complete stop the ReadyBrake actuator arm stays in the forward position continuing to hold the towed vehicle brake pedal down until the RV moves forward a couple of inches to disengage it.  Use of the ReadyBrake can decrease stopping distance by upwards of 30%.
