1. Parking assistance apparatus that displays on a screen an image picked up by image picking-up means mounted on a vehicle, wherein said parking assistance apparatus comprises control means for superimposing on said screen a guide that is parallel to a line that is tangent to an outer predicted travel locus of said vehicle, the guide being spaced apart from said outer predicted travel locus at a predetermined distance in an outward direction relative to the outer predicted travel locus when said vehicle is being backed up while a steering wheel of said vehicle is being turned.

Abstract
Parking assistance apparatus that displays on a screen an image shot by image picking-up apparatus mounted on a vehicle. The parking assistance apparatus superimposes a guide line that is parallel to the line tangent to the predicted outer locus of the vehicle assumed when the vehicle is backed with the wheel at the maximum steering angle. This allows the driver to drive the vehicle so that the guide line will not overlap the image of another vehicle thus allowing parking that avoids any contact.
