Towing a trailer
What you should be mindful of
WARNING
When driving with a trailer, special care is required!
NOTICE
With frequent towing, the vehicle is excessively loa-
ded so this must also be checked between service
intervals.
Recommendations for using a trailer
Driving situations in which a system warning oc-
curs
Your vehicle is overtaken by vehicle
A
. The faster
vehicle
A
approaches, the sooner the warning is giv-
en by the indicator light.
Vehicle
B
is overtaken by your vehicle at a speed
that is faster by max. 10 km/h. If the speed increases
the overtaking process, no warning will be provided
by the indicator light.
Indicator light
illuminated - There is another vehicle behind your
vehicle
flashing - There is another vehicle behind your ve-
hicle, and the turn signal on the same side is switch-
ed on
For vehicles with Lane Assist, the indicator light will
also flash if your vehicle crosses the lane markings in
the direction of the approaching vehicle. The system
will trigger a steering wheel vibration in this case.
For this, Lane Assist must be activated and the lane
marking between the vehicles must be detected.
Operating conditions
q The driving speed is higher than 15 km/h.
q No accessories are connected to the trailer sock-
et.
Function restriction
The system cannot detect lane width. For this rea-
son, it may, for example, draw attention to a vehicle
in a distant lane in the following cases.
Functionality
The system looks for a parking space and only takes
over the steering during the parking procedure or
when leaving a parking place. The driver operates the
pedals and the shift lever/gear selector.
The system displays information and notes on the in-
strument cluster display.
If the system detects a risk of collision, automatic
emergency braking takes place to prevent a collision.
Operating conditions
q The driving speed is lower than 7 km/h.
q The ASR is activated and there is no intervention.
q There is no driver intervention in the automatic
steering operation.
q No accessories are connected to the trailer sock-
et.
