A driver assistance system is provided for coupling a trailer coupling mounted on a vehicle to a counterpiece mounted on a trailer. A control unit is provided in the vehicle, where, when a predefined first condition holds, the control unit controls at least one actuator of a vehicle level regulation system such that at least the back part of the vehicle is lowered and/or, when a predefined second condition holds, the control unit controls at least one actuator of a vehicle level regulation system such that at least the back part of the vehicle is raised.

Process for coupling a trailer with the use of a vehicle level regulation system

Following installation of a device for functionally testing an electronically controlled regulating system in a motor vehicle, it is operated, and during its operation data is detected and stored in a test system at a production facility. The data collection occurs for the duration of a particular vehicle's operation over a defined distance at the production facility.
