Abstract
A system for automatically steering a utility vehicle having an operating implement. The system comprises a controller that is in communication with a scanning sensor. The controller receives an output signal from the scanning sensor and generates a steering signal that is directed to a steering controller for automatically steering the vehicle along a boundary of operation detected by the scanning sensor. The controller is supplied with information on which side of the operating implement the boundary of operation is located. The controller controls the scanning region of the scanning sensor as a function of this information.
