Abstract A control module is provided for the control of a swivelling movement of a trailer coupling (16) of a vehicle that is fully automatically displaceable from an idle position into a working position and vice-versa. The module includes a control device (6) that measures with a measuring device (7) during a swivelling movement of the trailer coupling (16) predefinable swivelling parameters and gives signals (9) corresponding to the measurement result, that compares these signals (9) with predefinable nominal values (10) with a comparator (8) and that terminates the swivelling movement of the trailer coupling (16) in case the nominal values (10) are exceeded, as well as with an operating element (2) that can be actuated only by the user, the manual actuation of which causes a swivelling back of the trailer coupling (16) into the initial starting position. The module also includes a checking device (12) that checks the compliance of predefinable safety parameters (13) before the displacement of the trailer coupling (16) is carried out and that releases a swivelling movement of the trailer coupling (16) only in case these parameters (13) are complied with. A method for swiveling a trailer coupling (16) of a vehicle that is fully automatically swivellable by means of a motor from an idle position into a working position and vice-versa is also provided.
