Claim 0:
1. A method for operating a parking assistance function of a motor vehicle, wherein the motor vehicle comprises at least one sensor for detecting the road surrounding the motor vehicle, wherein the method includes the following steps:
searching for and specifying a free parking space;
determining a trajectory for parking the motor vehicle in the parking space and a sequence of an at least partially automated parking process;
determining at least one outer boundary line of the road surface required for parking along the determined trajectory;
detecting at least one road user approaching the determined outer boundary line on the road by means of at least one sensor; and
determining the distance between the road user approaching the determined outer boundary line and the outer boundary line,
wherein if the determined distance falls below a specified first threshold, outputting a warning signal to the approaching road user, and
wherein if the determined distance falls below a specified second threshold, the speed and/or acceleration of the approaching road user will be determined and if the determined speed exceeds a specified threshold and/or the determined acceleration exceeds a specified threshold, an adapted warning signal will be output to the approaching road user and/or the course of the parking process will be adapted.
