Abstract

A method for guiding a motor vehicle into a charging position at an inductive charging station. When the charging position is being approached, a control device of the motor vehicle determines a relative position of the motor vehicle with respect to the charging position at least up to a first distance from the charging station by way of a first location-determining device and, starting from a second distance from the charging station up to the charging position by way of a second location-determining device. The control device estimates the relative position at least in a transition region between the first distance and the second distance on the basis of the motor vehicle's own movement, by way of an odometry device.
