re mains with you. Make sure that no persons, ani-
mals or objects etc. are in the manoeuvring
ra nge.

Objects located abo veor below the de tection
ra nge of the sensors, e.g. overhanging loads,
ove rhangs or loading ramp s of goods vehicles, or
th e borders of parking spaces, are not de tected
during measurement of the parking space. These
are also then not take n into account when calcu-
lating the parking procedure. In some circumstan-
ces, Active Parking Assist may therefore guide

Toadjust the articulation angle: select ¸.
Swipe leT or right on the media display or
to uchpad tochange the articulation angle. or #
Toactivate the straightening manoeuvre:
select º.
The system calculates the articulation angle in
such a wayth at the direction of the trailer at
th e time of activation is maintained. There is a
short countersteering mo vement of the trailer
while theve hicle is reve rsed, which then
guides it back tothe desired line. In this wa y,
th eve hicle is aligned st raight with the trailer
and, at the same time, the direction of the
trailer is maintained. #
Accelerate and brake as requ ired.
% The maximum articulation angle depends on
the length of the trailer. This is calculated by
th e system bydriving theve hicle forw ards,
including cornering. Before the length of the
trailer has been calcula ted, the maximum
articulation angle is appr oximately 23°. The
longer the trailer is, the higher the maximum
articulation angle (max. appr oximately 60°).
% Pay attention toyour sur roundings and be
