First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for use in a system in a vehicle, the system including a display element the method comprising:
- allowing a user to define on the display element a parking space into which the vehicle is to be parked;
determining whether parking of the vehicle into the parking space is feasible before the parking;
if it is determined that the parking is infeasible, informing the user of infeasibility of the parking; and
if it is determined that parking is feasible, controlling one or more components of the vehicle to park the vehicle into the parking space based on parameters provided by the system.
