Abstract
A method for assisting with the parking of a motor vehicle includes detecting the position of a movement-control member able to indicate a transverse component and a longitudinal component, with respect to the motor vehicle, of a movement instruction, and analyzing the movement instruction. The method also includes classifying the movement instruction in two modes (mode 1, mode 2) according to the angle β about the transverse axis of the movement-control member with respect to its rest position and the comparison thereof with the angel βM that brings the steered wheels of the motor vehicle to the angle αM of maximum steering lock, and moving the vehicle in accordance with the movement instruction mode, with mode 2 corresponding to assisted parking mode and performing a semi-automatic parallel-parking maneuver.
