Abstract

The invention relates to a method for assisting a driver of a motor vehicle (1) when parking in a parking space (19), in particular in a garage (18), using a driver assistance device (2) of the motor vehicle (1), wherein: in a learning mode of the driver assistance device (2), reference data related to the surrounding area (22) of the parking space (19) are recorded and stored using a sensor device (7) of the driver assistance device (2), while the motor vehicle (1) is parked in the parking space (19) while controlled by the driver, a reference target position (27), which is reached by the motor vehicle (1) in the learning mode, is recorded by the driver assistance device (2) and data with information about this reference target position (27) are stored, in a subsequent operating mode of the driver assistance device (2) different from the learning mode, sensor data are detected by the sensor device (7) and compared with the reference data, wherein depending on this comparison the surrounding area (22) of the parking space (19) is identified using the detected sensor data and thereby a current position (28, 33) of the motor vehicle (1) relative to the reference target position (27) is determined and depending on the current position (28, 33) of the motor vehicle (1) relative to the reference target position (27), a parking route (29, 32, 36) is determined by the driver assistance device (2), along which the motor vehicle (1) is parked in the parking space (19) from the current position (28, 33). The invention also relates to a driver assistance device (2) for carrying out the method.
