Claim 18:
19. A driver assistance system for use in an agricultural combination formed by a tractive machine and a plow, the driver assistance system comprising a plow adjust assistant configured to serially perform optimization stages comprising at least one initial optimization stage followed by at least one subsequent optimization stage:
in the at least one initial optimization stage:
determine one or more initial stage optimized machine parameters for one or both of the tractive machine or the plow, the one or more initial stage optimized machine parameters in order to optimize the one or both of the tractive machine or the plow of one of optimization of a configuration of the tractive machine, of optimization of a configuration of the plow, or of optimization of a plow-specific configuration of the tractive machine in which the tractive machine is coupled to the plow; and
perform at least one of:
output, to an operator, the one or more initial stage optimized machine parameters in at least one initial dialog step for at least partly manual input by the operator; or
automatic implementation of the one or more initial stage optimized machine parameters;

in the at least one subsequent optimization stage performed after the at least one initial optimization stage and dependent on the one or more initial stage optimized machine parameters determined in the at least one initial optimization stage:
determine, using the one or more initial stage optimized machine parameters determined in the at least one initial optimization stage, one or more subsequent stage optimized machine parameters for the plow, the one or more subsequent stage optimized machine parameters for implementation in order to optimize the plow as the plow, when coupled to the tractive machine, is cultivating a field; and
perform at least one of:
output, to the operator, the one or more subsequent stage optimized machine parameters in at least one subsequent dialog step for at least partly manual input by the operator; or
automatic implementation of the one or more subsequent stage optimized machine parameters.
