Claim Text:
1. A method for assisting driving of a vehicle into or out of a parking space using an assistance system, the method comprising: the assistance system determining dimensions of a parking space in which the vehicle is located or in which the vehicle will be parked; sensing when an obstacle is present by the assistance system; sensing a distance between the vehicle and the sensed obstacle; setting a threshold value after the distance has been sensed, and generating an indication while entering or exiting the parking space only when a current sensed distance between the vehicle and the sensed obstacle is below the threshold value, wherein the threshold value is set as a function of dimensions of the vehicle and dimensions of the parking space following beginning of a first maneuver of a process for entering the parking space or for exiting the parking space; wherein the threshold value is set as a function of the dimensions of the vehicle and of the dimensions of the parking space when driving into a parking space when the following conditions are met: the parking space which is sufficiently large for the vehicle to be semi-automatically driven into has been measured; the assistance system is activated; a reverse gear speed of the vehicle is engaged; and a steering intervention of the assistance system into a steering system of the vehicle is active.
