  • Vehicle Park Assist System and Method for Parking a Vehicle Using Such System
    Publication number: 20110068953
    Abstract: A park assist system for parking a vehicle in a target parking space includes a first sensing system which determines whether there is a sufficient slot length in a target parking space in which to park the vehicle. A second sensing system determines whether an obstacle is located in a predetermined clearance zone on a side of the vehicle opposite the target parking space. A decision regarding whether to recommend parking the vehicle in the target parking space sensed by the first sensing system is dependent upon a determination that the clearance zone is free of obstacles.
