Prerequisites
Determining the drawbar length
The drawbar length must be re-determined every time the trailer is changed. If the same trailer is always used, the
drawbar length must only be determined once.
1. Perform turning and cornering manoeuvres with the trailer. The more varied the turning and cornering
manoeuvres, the more manoeuvring options the trailer manoeuvring system will detect for the trailer.
There is a maximum of four limit positions for the angle display: approx. 30°, 45°, 60° and 75°.
Fulfilling requirements
The following prerequisites must be met for the trailer manoeuvring system to function:
✓ A trailer with a maximum of two rigid axles is attached and electrically connected.
✓ Driver door and boot lid are closed.
✓ Engine running.
✓ Vehicle is stationary.
✓ ESC is switched on.
✓ Exterior mirrors are not folded in.
For technical reasons, the trailer manoeuvring system cannot always detect trailers with an
LED
tail light cluster correctly.
