and a controller configured to: set the exit mode of a remotely started vehicle based on the parking state history information stored in the storage; set a mode where the vehicle travels perpendicularly forward and exits to a left direction of a parking space, when the vehicle enters from a right direction of the parking space and is parked perpendicularly in reverse; and set a mode where the vehicle travels perpendicularly forward and exits to the right direction of the parking space, when the vehicle enters from the left direction of the parking space and is parked perpendicularly in reverse. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the controller is configured to set a mode where the vehicle travels perpendicularly in reverse and exits to the right direction of the parking space, when the vehicle enters from the right direction of the parking space and is parked perpendicularly forward, and wherein the controller is configured to set a mode where the vehicle travels perpendicularly in reverse and exits to the left direction of the parking space, when the vehicle enters from the left direction of the parking space and is parked perpendicularly forward. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the controller is configured to set a mode where the vehicle travels diagonally in reverse and exits to the right, when the vehicle enters from the right direction of the parking space and is parked diagonally forward, wherein the controller is configured to set a mode where the vehicle travels diagonally in reverse and exits to the left, when the vehicle enters from the left direction of the parking space and is parked diagonally forward. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the controller is configured to set a mode where the vehicle travels diagonally forward and exits to the right, when the vehicle enters from the right direction of the parking space and is parked diagonally in reverse, and wherein the controller is configured to set a mode where the vehicle travels diagonally forward and exits to the left, when the vehicle enters from the left direction of the parking space and is parked diagonally in reverse. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the controller is configured to set a left exit mode in the vehicle, when the vehicle enters from the right direction of the parking space and is parallel parked, and wherein the controller is configured to set a right exit mode in the vehicle, when the vehicle enters from the left direction of the parking space and is parallel parked. ### Claim 6 An apparatus for remotely controlling an exit mode in a vehicle, the apparatus comprising: a storage configured to store parking state history information of the vehicle; and a controller configured to: set the exit mode of a remotely started vehicle based on the parking state history information stored in the storage; set a mode where the vehicle travels perpendicularly in reverse and exits to a right direction of a parking space, when the vehicle enters from the right direction of the parking space and is parked perpendicularly forward; and set a mode where the vehicle travels perpendicularly in reverse and exits to a left direction of the parking space, when the vehicle enters from the left direction of the parking space and is parked perpendicularly forward. ### Claim 7 (depends on 6) The apparatus of claim 6, wherein the controller is configured to set a mode where the vehicle travels diagonally in reverse and exits to the right, when the vehicle enters from the right direction of the parking space and is parked diagonally forward, wherein the controller is configured to set a mode where the vehicle travels diagonally in reverse and exits to the left, when the vehicle enters from the left direction of the parking space and is parked diagonally forward. ### Claim 8 (depends on 6) The apparatus of claim 6, wherein the controller is configured to set a mode where the vehicle travels diagonally forward and exits to the right, when the vehicle enters from the right direction of the parking space and is parked diagonally in reverse, and wherein the controller is configured to set a mode where the vehicle travels diagonally forward and exits to the left, when the vehicle enters from the left direction of the parking space and is parked diagonally in reverse. ### Claim 9 (depends on 6) The apparatus of claim 6, wherein the controller is configured to set a left exit mode in the vehicle, when the vehicle enters from the right direction of the parking space and is parallel parked, and wherein the controller is configured to set a right exit mode in the vehicle, when the vehicle enters from the left direction of the parking space and is parallel parked. ### Claim 10 An apparatus for remotely controlling an exit mode in a vehicle, the apparatus comprising: a storage configured to store parking state history information of the vehicle; and a controller configured to: set the exit mode of a remotely started vehicle based on the parking state history information stored in the storage; set a left exit mode in the vehicle, when the vehicle enters from a right direction of a parking space and is parallel parked; and set a right exit mode in the vehicle, when the vehicle enters from a left direction of the parking space and is parallel parked. ### Claim 11 (depends on 10) The apparatus of claim 10, wherein the controller is configured to set a mode where the vehicle travels diagonally in reverse and exits to the right, when the vehicle enters from the right direction of the parking space and is parked diagonally forward, wherein the controller is configured to set a mode where the vehicle travels diagonally in reverse and exits to the left, when the vehicle enters from the left direction of the parking space and is parked diagonally forward. ### Claim 12 (depends on 10) The apparatus of claim 10, wherein the controller is configured to set a mode where the vehicle travels diagonally forward and exits to the right, when the vehicle enters from the right direction of the parking space and is parked diagonally in reverse, and wherein the controller is configured to set a mode where the vehicle travels diagonally forward and exits to the left, when the vehicle enters from the left direction of the parking space and is parked diagonally in reverse.
