First Claim
1. A parking assist device for a vehicle in which electric power transferred from a power transfer unit of a power feeding apparatus provided outside of the vehicle is received by a power reception unit from below the vehicle in a contactless manner comprising:
- an image taking device for taking an image of outside of said vehicle;
a first guidance control unit for guiding orientation of said vehicle to said power transfer unit based on the image taken by said image taking device; and
a second guidance control unit for controlling speed of said vehicle to said power transfer unit without guiding a change in orientation of said vehicle based on a power receiving situation of said power reception unit, after the guidance by said first guidance control unit.

Abstract
A first guidance control unit constituted of a parking assist ECU and a steering ECU guides a vehicle to a power transfer unit of a power feeding apparatus by controlling steering of the vehicle based on an image taken by a camera. When the vehicle is guided by the first guidance control unit to a predetermined position with respect to the power transfer unit, a second guidance control unit constituted of a vehicle ECU, a motor control ECU and a charging ECU performs alignment between the power transfer unit and a power reception unit by controlling speed of the vehicle based on a power receiving situation of the power reception unit.
