Abstract

The invention relates to a device and a method for displaying objects in the surroundings of a vehicle having a sensor arrangement, in order to sense objects in the surroundings of the vehicle and to determine the position thereof relative to the vehicle, wherein the sensor arrangement covers, with its detection range, only a partial area of the surroundings of the vehicle; in order to improve the assistance provided to the driver during parking processes and the processes of removing a vehicle from a parking space, the processing device is designed to determine the area of the surroundings of the vehicle for which no object information is yet available, since said area has not yet been passed over by the detection range of the sensor arrangement, and the display device is designed to display the extent of this area.
