Abstract

Regulating a speed of a motor vehicle during an automated parking operation comprises measuring a speed of the motor vehicle during the automated parking operation, comparing the measured speed with a predefined speed value, reducing an engine power of an internal combustion engine of the motor vehicle and increasing a brake pressure of a brake of the motor vehicle if the measured speed is higher than predefined by the predefined speed value, and increasing the engine power and reducing the brake pressure if the measured speed is lower than predefined by the predefined speed value.
