Method for Parking or Exiting a Parking Bay and for Avoiding a Collision of a Vehicle, and Corresponding Assistance Systems and Vehicle
First Claim
1. Method for parking a vehicle or driving the vehicle out of a parking bay using an assistance system,an obscured state of the vehicle, in which a distance measuring sensor of the assistance system is obscured by a part of the vehicle, being automatically detected, anda steering intervention of the assistance system into a steering system of the vehicle being automatically deactivated or prevented when the obscured state is present.

Abstract
An obscured state of a vehicle, in which a distance measuring sensor of an assistance system is obscured by a part of the vehicle, is automatically detected. If the obscured state is present, a steering intervention of the assistance system into a steering system of the vehicle during a parking or parking-bay-exiting process of the vehicle using the assistance system is automatically deactivated or prevented. Furthermore, to avoid a collision of the vehicle using the assistance system, a notification of an obscured state is automatically generated when the obscured state is present.

9. Assistance system for a vehicle, the assistance system comprising
a controller, a plurality of distance measuring sensors for measuring an environment of the vehicle, and at least one state detecting sensor, the at least one state detecting sensor being designed to detect an obscured state of the vehicle in which one of the distance measuring sensors is obscured by a part of the vehicle, and the controller being designed such that, if the controller detects the obscured state by means of the at least one state detecting sensor, said controller deactivates a steering intervention of the assistance system into a steering system of the vehicle if the steering intervention is active, or does not activate said steering intervention if the steering intervention is not active.

11. Assistance system for a vehicle, the assistance system comprising
a device for generating a notification, a controller, a plurality of distance measuring sensors and at least one state detecting sensor, the at least one state detecting sensor being designed to detect an obscured state of the vehicle in which one of the distance measuring sensors is obscured by a part of the vehicle, and the controller being designed to generate the notification of the obscured state by means of the device if the controller detects the obscured state by means of the at least one state detecting sensor.
