296 Driving and parking
& WARNING Risk of accident due to unsuita-
ble trailers
Trailers with a steered axle or a fifth wheel
cannot be used with Trailer Manoeuvring
Assist.
Due to this, the trailer cannot be manoeuvred
in the desired direction and you can cause a
collision or the trailer can overturn.
Only use Trailer Manoeuvring Assist with
#
trailers with fixed drawbars and axles.
* NOTE Damage due to overhanging loads
in front or drawbar installations
The vehicle and the trailer may be damaged
during manoeuvring due to overhanging loads
at the front of the trailer or drawbar installa-
tions.
Pay attention to overhanging loads or
#
drawbar installations while manoeuvring.
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 or the 90° manoeuvre.
When carrying out a straightening manoeuvre, the
system calculates the articulation angle automati-
cally and straightens the vehicle/trailer combina-
tion to the trailer's current direction.
Observe the notes on towing a trailer
( page 298).
