  • Patent number: 7528740
    Abstract: A method for providing information for the driver of a vehicle for parallel parking of the vehicle includes sending the driver information about the length (size) of the parking spot in relation to the length (size) of the vehicle. After detection of the first obstacle (or end point) delimiting the length of the parking spot, the vehicle and its position are displayed in relation to the parking spot or the already detected part of the parking spot, on a display unit assigned to the driver. The ratio of the vehicle length to the length of the parking spot or the detected part of the parking spot corresponds to the ratio of the displayed vehicle length to the length of the displayed parking spot or the displayed part of the parking spot.

  • Patent number: 7382240
    Abstract: A warning device in a vehicle includes at least one output unit for outputting at least one warning. A training mode for calling up warnings may be started via an input unit, in which the warnings are output following a call-up without a situation, for which a warning should be output, actually having to exist. Due to this fact, the driver may intuitively inform him/herself about the warning outputs.
