Abstract:
A parking assist system for a vehicle includes a rearward viewing camera, a display and a controller. When operating in a first mode, the controller generates a first overlay at the displayed images that includes a representation of a target parking position. When the vehicle is in a reverse gear, the controller operates in a second mode and generates second and third overlays at the displayed images. The second overlay includes a representation of a projected rearward path of the vehicle that is based on a current steering angle of the vehicle. When operating in the second mode and after the representation of the target parking position is positioned at a displayed target parking space for the vehicle, the controller determines a target path for the vehicle to guide the driver to the target parking space, with the third overlay including a representation of the determined target path.

Claim (Index 19):
A parking assist system for a vehicle, the parking assist system comprising:\n a camera mounted to the vehicle so as to have a field of view rearward of the vehicle, wherein the camera captures images of a rearward scene rearward of the vehicle; a display in the vehicle that displays images captured by the camera; a controller, wherein the controller is activated in a first mode in response to actuation of a first user input in the vehicle and is activated in a second mode in response to actuation of a second user input in the vehicle; wherein, when operating in the first mode, the controller generates a first overlay at the displayed images of the rearward scene, and wherein the first overlay includes a representation of a target parking position, and wherein the representation of the target parking position is displayed so as to appear offset a selected distance behind the vehicle and a selected distance laterally from the vehicle; wherein the representation of the target parking position has a length that represents the length of the vehicle and wherein the representation of the target parking position has a width that represents the width of the vehicle; wherein the controller is operable in the first mode while the vehicle is being driven forwardly or rearwardly along a road; wherein, when operating in the first mode, the vehicle is driven to position the representation of the target parking position at a displayed target parking space for the vehicle; wherein, when the vehicle is in a reverse gear, and responsive to actuation of the second user input, the controller operates in the second mode, and wherein, when operating in the second mode, the controller generates a second overlay and a third overlay at the displayed images of the rearward scene; wherein the second overlay includes a representation of a projected rearward path of the vehicle that is based on a current steering angle of the vehicle; wherein, when operating in the second mode and after the representation of the target parking position is positioned at the displayed target parking space for the vehicle, the controller determines a target path for the vehicle to guide the driver to the target parking space, and wherein the third overlay includes a representation of the determined target path; wherein the representation of the determined target path comprises a plurality of target path segments for the vehicle to follow toward the target parking space; and wherein, when the vehicle is moving along the determined target path, the controller adds a representation of the progress of the vehicle on the determined target path.
