Maneuvering Assist will not function properly.
This will prevent the trailer from maneuvering
in the desired direction and you may cause a
collision.
After changing the trailer, the ball neck
#
or the ball head position, do not use
Trailer Maneuvering Assist without carry-
ing out a calibration drive again.
After changing the trailer, the ball neck
#
or the ball head position, reset the
taught-in values.
Then, carry out a calibration drive to
#
teach in the values of the new ball head

* NOTE Damage due to overhanging loads
in front or drawbar installations
The vehicle and the trailer may be damaged
during maneuvering due to overhanging loads
at the front of the trailer or drawbar installa-
tions.
Pay attention to overhanging loads or
#
drawbar installations while maneuvering.
Trailer Maneuvering Assist will assist you when
you are backing up with a trailer. Using the rear-
view camera, it monitors the articulation angle
between the vehicle and trailer and adjusts it to a
specified value. Trailer Maneuvering Assist will
also limit your speed.
For Trailer Maneuvering Assist to function prop-
erly, a calibration drive must be carried out for the
trailer and ball neck used and if the ball head
position is changed. The current ball head posi-
tion will be taught in during the calibration drive
( page 260).

Trailer Maneuvering Assist is only an aid. It is not
a substitute for your attention to the surround-
ings. The responsibility for safe maneuvering and
parking remains with you. Make sure that there
are no persons, animals or objects in the maneu-
vering area while you are maneuvering and park-
ing in / exiting parking spaces.
You can either enter the articulation angle value
directly via the multimedia system, or use a
straightening maneuver or the 90° maneuver.
When you carry out a straightening maneuver, the
system will calculate the articulation angle auto-
matically and align the vehicle/trailer combination
with the trailer's current direction.
Observe the notes on trailer operation
( page 256).
