The articulation angle can be changed on the
media display or on the touchpad.
Swipe left or right to change the articulation

angle.
% 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°).
Set the desired articulation angle.
#
When the articulation angle entered has been
reached, the drawbar is locked by the system so
that the angle is maintained.
Activating the straightening manoeuvre

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.
