238 Driving and parking
Trailer Manoeuvring Assist assists you when
reversing with a trailer. Using the reversing cam-
era, it monitors the articulation angle between the
vehicle and trailer and adjusts it to a specified
value. Trailer Manoeuvring Assist also limits your
speed.
Trailer Manoeuvring Assist is only an aid. It is not
a substitute for your attention to the surround-
ings. The responsibility for safe manoeuvring and
parking remains with you. Make sure that there
are no persons, animals or objects in the manoeu-
vring area while manoeuvring and parking in/exit-
ing parking spaces.
You can either enter the articulation angle value
directly via the multimedia system or use a
straightening manoeuvre. When carrying out a
straightening manoeuvre, the system calculates
the articulation angle automatically and straight-
ens the vehicle/trailer combination to the trailer's
current direction.
Observe the notes on towing a trailer
( page 239).
