Factory Hitch electrical harness

I want to rent an utility trailer to move some stuff around. I contacted Rona and they said the vehical has to support "electric brakes". I have the factory MB hitch installed and it has the hitch wiring harness. Does anyone know if the factory wiring harness will support this "electric brakes" thing ? Thanks.

There are some information regarding brakes in the paragraph "Electrical connections" there, and more detailed on page 247, "Coupling a trailer". Note the "!" and "i".
