Process for coupling a trailer with the use of a vehicle level regulation system
First Claim
1. A driver assistance system for coupling a trailer coupling mounted on a vehicle to a counterpiece mounted on a trailer, the driver assistance system comprising:
- a control unit provided in the vehicle;
a vehicle level regulation system coupled with the control unit, the vehicle level regulation system including at least one actuator for raising or lowering a back part of the vehicle; and
wherein when a predefined first condition holds, the control unit controls the at least one actuator such that at least the back part of the vehicle is lowered and/or when a predefined second condition holds, the control unit controls the at least one actuator such that at least the back part of the vehicle is raised.

13. A method of assisting a driver and coupling a trailer coupling mounted on a vehicle to a counterpiece mounted on a trailer, the method comprising the acts of:
-
determining whether a predefined first condition exists;
upon the existence of the predefined first condition, controlling at least one actuator of a vehicle level regulation system such that a back part of the vehicle is lowered;
determining whether a predefined second condition exists; and
when the predefined second condition exists, controlling at least one actuator of the vehicle level regulation system such that at least the back part of the vehicle is raised. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15)
