able depend on the trailer's current articulation
angle and length.
To adjust the articulation angle: select 4. To

change the articulation angle, swipe to the left
or right in the central display in the entire area
of the camera image.

To activate the straightening manoeuvre:

select 2.
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 reversing to guide it back
to the desired line. This allows the vehicle to
align with the trailer, while at the same time
maintaining the trailer's direction.
or
To activate the 90° manoeuvre:
#
Align the vehicle in the same direction

The system calculates the articulation angle
so that a trailer can be manoeuvred into a
driveway at the most acute angle possible
when it is perpendicular to its own vehicle.
After the manoeuvre, the vehicle is aligned
again in the trailer's direction.
Accelerate and brake as required.

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

Be aware of all surroundings and always
remain ready to brake.

Notes on trailer operation
* NOTE The operating permit may be invali-
