Abstract

A method for operating a driving assistance system of a motor vehicle includes manoeuvring the motor vehicle autonomously with a driving assistance system while a user with a mobile terminal is located outside the motor vehicle. The user performs, by the driving assistance system and during the manoeuvring, longitudinal guidance and transverse guidance of the motor vehicle. The driving assistance system is operated at a first automation level when communication between the driving assistance system and the mobile terminal is ensured. While the user activates the mobile terminal, the longitudinal guidance, and the transverse guidance in a predetermined fashion, a surrounding area of the motor vehicle is sensed, at the first automation level, by the driving assistance system, and in addition to the longitudinal guidance and the transverse guidance of the motor vehicle. The motor vehicle is then autonomously manoeuvred according to the sensed surrounding area.
