the trailer manoeuvring assistant is operated
corr
ectly, on rare occasions the trailer may
move in a dierent way to the setting.
●
Do not rely solely on the indications on the
instrument cluster display.
Note
The trailer manoeuvre assistant automati-
cally s
witches o approx. 10 minutes after
being activated. The assistant is also deacti-
vated if the driver does not perform any ac-
tion over the course of approx. 3 minutes.
Requirements
The following requirements must be met for the
trailer manoeuvre assistant to work:
●
The engine is running.
●
The ESC must be connected.
●
The driver's door and the rear lid are closed.
●
The exterior mirrors are not folded.
●
There is a non-articulated one or two axle
tr
ailer hitched and electrically connected.
●
Both the tow vehicle and trailer are stopped.
●
The maximum bending angle has not been
exceeded.
●
The length of the trailer’s drawbar has been
determined.
Determine the length of the trailer's drawbar
In or
der for the trailer manoeuvre assistant
to determine the length of the trailer’s draw-
bar, drive the vehicle-trailer set through some
turning manoeuvres or curves. The more pre-
cisely the length of the drawbar is determined,
the wider the angles that will be available
when manoeuvring. The assistant subdivides
the maximum available end stops of the angle
indicator into four levels: approx. 30°, 45°, 60°
and 75°.
Note
For technical reasons, the trailer manoeu-
vr
e assistant cannot always correctly detect
trailers with LED technology taillights.
