Method and Apparatus for Controlling a Parking Process of a Vehicle
First Claim
1. A method of controlling an assisted parking procedure of a vehicle comprising the steps of:
- setting an upper speed limit;
limiting the speed of the vehicle during the assisted parking procedure to a parking speed less than or equal to the upper limit speed;
suppressing accelerator operation that would increase the speed of the vehicle above the upper speed limit; and
terminating the accelerator operation suppression when the accelerator pedal is actuated more than a predetermined value wherein the predetermined value depends on vehicle slope.

Abstract
A method and apparatus for controlling a parking process of a vehicle. The method including setting an upper speed limit; using a speed-limiting device to limit the speed of the vehicle at a parking speed that is less than or equal to the upper speed limit speed; suppressing an accelerator pedal speed increase request that increases the vehicle speed over the upper speed limit; and performing the assisted parking operation while limiting the vehicle speed and terminating the suppression of the increase in speed when the accelerator pedal is depressed by more than a predetermined value. Wherein the predetermined value is selected as a function of a slope on which the vehicle is located. The invention also relates to a steering system for an assisted parking procedure of a vehicle and a vehicle with such a steering system.
