Abstract
A method for assisting a user to displace a vehicle to a target position is disclosed. The method may include activating an assistance mode, detecting an external force applied to the vehicle by the user, determining a displacement torque based on the external force, and displacing the vehicle toward the target position by applying the displacement torque using a vehicle propulsion system. A system for assisting a user to displace a vehicle to a target position is also disclosed.
