Automatic Parking Assistant provides support when parallel parking and parking transverse to the road. In addition, the system makes it easier to park out of parallel and perpendicular parking spaces. The ultrasonic sensors measure both sides of the vehicle when driving slowly forward. Suitable parking spaces are calculated based on the objects detected, e.g., parking vehicles. The system status is displayed. The system calculates the best possible parking line for driving in or out of parking spaces, and takes control of the vehicle while parking. The operating principle and operation of Park Assist is divided into the following steps:
– Parking space search.
– Turning on.
– Parking.
– Driving out of parking spaces. The parking manoeuver while parking is performed automatically.
When driving out of parallel parking spaces, the vehicle maneuvers automatically until it reaches a position where it can be driven out of the parking space without further steering movements. When driving out of perpendicular parking spaces, the vehicle is maneuvered out of the parking space to enable continued driving in the desired direction. A parking maneuver can be interrupted and continued manually. Settings can be customized as desired, e.g., to adjust how parking maneuvers are displayed or to set a sound for suitable parking spaces.
