The paper deals with the Korteweg-de Vries equation with variable coefficients and a small parameter at the highest derivative. The asymptotic step-like solution to the equation is obtained by the non-linear WKB technique. An algorithm of constructing the higher terms of the asymptotic step-like solutions is presented. The theorem on the accuracy of the higher asymptotic approximations is proven. The proposed technique is demonstrated by example of the equation with given variable coefficients. The main term and the first asymptotic approximation of the given example are found, their analysis is done and statement of the approximate solutions accuracy is presented.
