Vehicle comprising a distance control system

A method for the assisted steering, particularly the assisted maneuvering and parking, of a motor vehicle which includes determining a nominal driving path (X) with a starting point (S) and a destination point (W); providing an output of the nominal driving path (X), and setting the motor vehicle in motion. An actual position (W) of the motor vehicle is determined, wherein a deviant circular arc (K) traveled as well as a first (K) and a second (K) corrective circular arc are determined if the actual position (W) deviates from the nominal driving path (X). The second corrective circular arc (K) is a congruent projection of the deviant circular arc (K) and ends at the destination point (W). A corrected nominal driving path (K, K) is provided as an output.
