Abstract

A method wherein, when a vehicle is pulled into or out of a parking space, the dimensions of the parking space in which the vehicle is located or in which the vehicle is being pulled into are determined by an assistance system. Furthermore, the assistance system detects a distance between the vehicle and an obstacle. If the distance is below a threshold value, the assistance system produces a notice. The assistance system sets the threshold value according to the dimensions of the vehicle and the dimensions of the parking space.
