Claim:
1. An arrangement for automatically steering a combination of a self-propelled vehicle and an implement for cultivating a field which is connected to the vehicle, the arrangement comprising: the self-propelled vehicle being equipped with a steering control unit for automatically steering the vehicle along a first reference path; a sensor for detecting an actual sensed position of an implement actuator; the implement being displaceable in a lateral direction with respect to the vehicle by the implement actuator coupled to an implement position control unit, the implement being guidable along a second reference path, where in a first mode the steering control unit is set up to steer the vehicle in dependence on the sensed position of the implement actuator at a time such that the implement tracks the second reference path, wherein: in the first mode the steering control unit receives an instruction from the implement position control unit to steer the vehicle to the right as soon as the implement actuator has moved the implement to the right by more than a predetermined portion of its range of movement and to steer the vehicle to the left as soon as the implement actuator has moved the implement to the left by more than a predetermined portion of its range of movement.
