#
select º.
The system calculates the articulation angle in
such a way that the direction of the trailer at
the time of activation is maintained. There is a
short countersteering movement of the trailer
while the vehicle is reversed, which then
guides it back to the desired line. In this way,
the vehicle is aligned straight with the trailer
and, at the same time, the direction of the
trailer is maintained.
Accelerate and brake as required.

The maximum articulation angle depends on
the length of the trailer. This is calculated by
the system by driving the vehicle forwards,
including cornering. Before the length of the
trailer has been calculated, the maximum
articulation angle is approximately 23°. The
longer the trailer is, the higher the maximum
articulation angle (max. approximately 60°).

Pay attention to your surroundings and be
ready to brake at all times.
