Parking aid system which measures distances on either side of a vehicle to ensure vehicle is parked centrally

摘要

Disclosed is a method for operating a parking aid system 1 of a motor vehicle 2. The method includes: determining at least one parameter characterizing an impending parking procedure of the motor vehicle 2 in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle; determining a first distance d1 of a lateral face 3 of the motor vehicle 2 on the driver's side to a park­ing space periphery 4 on the driver's side; and determining a second distance d2 of a lateral face 5 of the motor vehicle 2 on the passenger's side to a parking space periphery 6 on the passenger's side. The method may then include issuing of information for a centred parking of the motor vehicle 2 relative to the parking space periphery 3 on the driver's side and to the parking space periphery 6 on the passen­ger's side based on first distance d1 and second distance d2 by means of an issuing device 7, or automatic actuation of a steering device such that the vehicle 2 is parked in a centred manner.
