Method for aiding the manoeuvring of an automotive vehicle which comprises a plurality of front wheels and rear wheels in contact with a ground surface, a carbody with a body pillar and an advance direction, the method comprising the steps of: - projecting at least a portion of a light pattern towards a projection zone of the ground surface; - acquiring an image of the automotive vehicle and the light pattern from an image sensor; - providing the acquired image to a user of the automotive vehicle; wherein the projection zone comprises at least one of a first virtual rectangle, a second virtual rectangle and/or a third virtual rectangle, all of them being located in a projection plane defined by contact points between the wheels (11, 12) and the ground surface, wherein the first virtual rectangle comprises - a first side perpendicular to the advance direction, located at a distance lower than 10 cm to the rear point of the projection of the carbody on the ground surface, the rear point being defined according to the advance direction; - a second side parallel to the first side, located at least 50 cm behind the first side; - a third side perpendicular to the first and second sides, the prolongation of which cuts a contact point of one rear wheel; - a fourth side parallel to the third side, the prolongation of which cuts a contact point of the other rear wheel; the second virtual rectangle comprising - a first side perpendicular to the advance direction, located at a distance lower than 10 cm in front of the front point of the projection of the carbody on the ground surface, the front point being defined according to the advance direction; - a second side parallel to the first side, located at least 50 cm in front of the first side; - a third side perpendicular to the first and second sides, the prolongation of which cuts a contact point of one front wheel; - a fourth side parallel to the third side, the prolongation of which cuts a contact point of the other front wheel; the third virtual rectangle comprising - a first side tangent to the projection of the body pillar on the ground surface; - a second side parallel to the first side, located 100 cm beside the first side; - a third side perpendicular to the first and second sides, the prolongation of which is in contact with the rear point of the projection of the carbody on the ground surface; - a fourth side parallel to the third side, the prolongation of which is in contact with the front point of the projection of the carbody on the ground surface. - projecting at least a portion of a light pattern towards a projection zone of the ground surface; - acquiring an image of the automotive vehicle and the light pattern from an image sensor; - providing the acquired image to a user of the automotive vehicle; wherein the projection zone comprises at least one of a first virtual rectangle, a second virtual rectangle and/or a third virtual rectangle, all of them being located in a projection plane defined by contact points between the wheels (11, 12) and the ground surface, wherein - a first side perpendicular to the advance direction, located at a distance lower than 10 cm to the rear point of the projection of the carbody on the ground surface, the rear point being defined according to the advance direction; - a second side parallel to the first side, located at least 50 cm behind the first side; - a third side perpendicular to the first and second sides, the prolongation of which cuts a contact point of one rear wheel; - a fourth side parallel to the third side, the prolongation of which cuts a contact point of the other rear wheel; - a first side perpendicular to the advance direction, located at a distance lower than 10 cm in front of the front point of the projection of the carbody on the ground surface, the front point being defined according to the advance direction; - a second side parallel to the first side, located at least 50 cm in front of the first side; - a third side perpendicular to the first and second sides, the prolongation of which cuts a contact point of one front wheel; - a fourth side parallel to the third side, the prolongation of which cuts a contact point of the other front wheel; - a first side tangent to the projection of the body pillar on the ground surface; - a second side parallel to the first side, located 100 cm beside the first side; - a third side perpendicular to the first and second sides, the prolongation of which is in contact with the rear point of the projection of the carbody on the ground surface; - a fourth side parallel to the third side, the prolongation of which is in contact with the front point of the projection of the carbody on the ground surface.
