Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for operating a parking assistance apparatus ( 1 ) of a motor vehicle ( 2 ) having an attached trailer ( 3 ), involving: a) a first image of surroundings ( 6 ) of the motor vehicle ( 2 ) on which the trailer ( 3 ) is portrayed being produced by a first camera unit ( 4 ), arranged on the motor vehicle ( 2 ), of the parking assistance apparatus ( 1 ); b) a second image of surroundings ( 6 ) of the trailer ( 3 ) being produced by a second camera unit ( 5 ), arranged on the trailer ( 3 ), of the parking assistance apparatus ( 1 ); c) a combined view ( 16 ) of the surroundings ( 6 ) being produced from the first and second images, wherein an image area ( 17 ) of the first image that is occupied by the trailer ( 3 ) has at least areas overlaid with a piece of image information from the second image, so that the trailer ( 3 ) in the combined view ( 16 ) has at least areas depicted transparently in front of the surroundings ( 6 ) portrayed in the second image, by a computation unit ( 7 ) of the parking assistance apparatus ( 1 ); d) the combined view ( 16 ) being displayed by a display unit ( 8 ) of the parking assistance apparatus ( 1 ) with a desired travel trajectory ( 9 ) for the trailer ( 3 ) overlaid on the view ( 16 ); e) a profile for the desired travel trajectory ( 9 ) being selected by means of operation of an operator control device of the motor vehicle ( 2 ); and f) an at least semi-automated parking process being started in which the trailer ( 3 ) is automatically kept on the desired travel trajectory ( 9 ) having the selected profile, in order to simplify operator control of the parking assistance apparatus ( 1 ) and hence parking assisted by the parking assistance apparatus ( 2 ).

Claim (Index 3):
The method according to  claim 1 , wherein the selected profile for the desired travel trajectory is taken as a basis for marking in the combined view the ground over which the motor vehicle travels when following the desired travel trajectory of the trailer.
