Can Autowbrake Controller Install on Trailer with Separate Brake and Turn Circuits

Question

Question:

Hello, I would like to use the above with twin axle 5th wheel based in Europe, trailer wiring already converted for European use, my question is in Europe we only have one signal line for brake lights, in order to use the Autowbrake controller do I connect the Green/Yellow together and connect them to the brake light cable in the towing vehicle, many thanks for your help.
