First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for assisting driving of a vehicle into or out of a parking space using an assistance system, the method comprising:
- the assistance system determining dimensions of a parking space in which the vehicle is located or in which the vehicle will be parked;
sensing if an obstacle is present by the assistance system;
sensing a distance between the vehicle and the sensed obstacle;
is sensed by the assistance system andgenerating an indication if the distance is below a threshold value,wherein the threshold value is set during the parking space entering process or parking space exiting process as a function of dimensions of the vehicle and dimensions of the parking space.

Abstract
A method wherein, when a vehicle is pulled into or out of a parking space, the dimensions of the parking space in which the vehicle is located or in which the vehicle is being pulled into are determined by an assistance system. Furthermore, the assistance system detects a distance between the vehicle and an obstacle. If the distance is below a threshold value, the assistance system produces a notice. The assistance system sets the threshold value according to the dimensions of the vehicle and the dimensions of the parking space.

6. An assistance system for a vehicle, the assistance system comprising:
-
a device for generating an indication; a controller; and at least one distance measuring sensor, wherein the at least one distance measuring sensor determines dimensions of a parking space in which the vehicle is located or in which the vehicle will be parked and to determine a distance between the vehicle and an obstacle, wherein the assistance system generates the indication by the device, if the assistance system senses, by the at least one distance measuring sensor, that the distance is below a threshold value, and wherein, during a parking space entering process or parking space exiting process of the assistance system, the assistance system sets the threshold value by means of the controller as a function of dimensions of the vehicle and dimensions of the parking space. - View Dependent Claims (7, 12, 13)

8. A vehicle comprising:
-
an assistance system; and a steering system, wherein the assistance system comprises; a device for generating an indication; a controller; and at least one distance measuring sensor, wherein the at least one distance measuring sensor determines dimensions of a parking space in which the vehicle is located or in which the vehicle will be parked and to determine a distance between the vehicle and an obstacle, wherein the assistance system generates the indication by the device, if the assistance system senses, by the at least one distance measuring sensor, that the distance is below a threshold value, and wherein, during a parking space entering process or parking space exiting process of the assistance system, the assistance system sets the threshold value by means of the controller as a function of dimensions of the vehicle and dimensions of the parking space. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11)
