Help with parking and manoeuvring
Determine the length of the trailer's draw-
bar
In or
der for the trailer manoeuvre assistant to
determine the length of the trailer’s drawbar,
drive the vehicle-trailer set through some
turning manoeuvres or curves. The more pre-
cisely the length of the drawbar is deter-
mined, the wider the angles that will be avail-
able when manoeuvring. The assistant subdi-
vides 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 de-
tect trailers with LED technology taillights.
