Leveling Tekonsha P3

Question

Question:

On page 4 of the instructions, it states how the P3 needs to be facing foward, and not tipped left or right. Does it also need to be level front to back, or is it OK to have the display tipped up so the driver can view it easier? Thanks

The Tekonsha P3 # 90195 can be mounted anywhere between -90 degrees (straight down) and 90 degrees (straight up), so having it tipped for easier viewing should not present any problem. Just make sure the unit is parallel to the direction of travel as shown in the instructions, and you will be fine.
