Select ¸.
The articulation angle can be changed on the

Swipe left or right tochange the articulation
angle.
% The maximum articulation angle depends on
the length of the trailer. This is calculated by
th e sy stem bydriving theve hicle forw ards,
including cornering. Before the length of the
trailer has been calculated, the maximum
articulation angle is appr oximately 23°. The
longer the trailer is, the higher the maximum
articulation angle (max. appr oximately 60°). #
Set the desired articulation angle.
When the articulation angle entered has been
re ached, the dr awbar is loc kedby the sy stem so
th at the angle is maintained. Ac

Select º.
The sy stem calculates the articulation angle
in such a wayth at the direction of the trailer
at the time of activation is maintained. There
is a short counter steering mo vement of the
trailer while theve hicle is reve rsed, which
th en guides it back tothe desired line. In this
