1. A motor vehicle comprising:
- a speed sensor;
a transmission gear identifier;
a steering angle sensor; and
a driver assist system coupled to the speed sensor, steering angle sensor, and gear identifier to enter a parking mode in response to
1) the speed sensor indicating braking to a standstill,
2) followed by the gear identifier indicating a selection of a reverse gear, and
3) followed by the steering angle sensor indicating rotation of a steering component according to a predetermined threshold angle.

Abstract
A motor vehicle detects the occurrence of a parking maneuver using a speed sensor, a transmission gear identifier, and a steering angle sensor. A driver assist system is coupled to the speed sensor, steering angle sensor, and gear identifier which detects the parking maneuver and enters a parking mode in response to 1) the speed sensor indicating braking to a standstill, 2) followed by the gear identifier indicating a selection of a reverse gear, and 3) followed by the steering angle sensor indicating rotation of a steering component according to a predetermined threshold angle.
