Abstract
A device for monitoring the environment of a vehicle being parked, which is used for reliably detecting objects in the way, and which makes it possible to calculate parking maneuvers. The device includes at least one video camera having laterally arranged object-detection sensors, which cover areas that are not recorded by the video camera. In this manner, the driver can be supplied in a simple manner with warnings, even though a putative obstacle is not detectable in the video image.
