Abstract

A motor vehicle detects the occurrence of a parking maneuver using a speed sensor, a transmission gear identifier, and a steering angle sensor. A driver assist system is coupled to the speed sensor, steering angle sensor, and gear identifier which detects the parking maneuver and enters a parking mode in response to 1) the speed sensor indicating braking to a standstill, 2) followed by the gear identifier indicating a selection of a reverse gear, and 3) followed by the steering angle sensor indicating rotation of a steering component according to a predetermined threshold angle.
