Introduction to the topic
Trailer Maneuvering Assist assists the driver when
reversing a trailer.
Trailer Maneuvering Assist steers a trailer in the
direction that the driver sets using the rotary knob for
adjusting the exterior mirrors. The driver applies the

Adapting the system to the
trailer Every time the towing vehicle and trailer
combination is changed, the system must be adapted to the trailer.
Doing so determines the length of the drawbar again:
1. Hitch up the single or double axle trailer and electrically
connect it to the vehicle
2. Perform several and, if possible, different turning maneuvers
and curvy paths with the trailer.
The more accurately the length of the lance can
be determined, the more angles will be available
when maneuvering.
Fig. 172 On the instrument cluster display: Operate the
rotary control on the driver's door.
The angle indicator has a maximum of four end stops:
approx. 30Β°, 45Β°, 60Β° and 75Β°.
