Method and device for assisting a driver of a motor vehicle when he is removing his vehicle from a parking space, and motor vehicle

Abstract

The intention is to indicate a way in which a driver of a motor vehicle (1) can be warned particularly reliably, when he is removing his vehicle from a parking space (18), of the presence of a moving object (24) which is external to the vehicle, on a carriageway (23) adjoining the parking space (18). The object (24) is detected with the aid of sensor means (5 to 9), and by using sensor data of the sensor means (5 to 9) a current distance (26) of the object (24) from the motor vehicle (1) is determined. An image representation (27, 43, 64) is generated which shows a plan view of at least one area of the motor vehicle (1′) and in which the distance (26) of the object (24) from the motor vehicle (1) is visually indicated. The image representation (27, 43, 64) is displayed on a visual display device (3).

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
