A method for activating an automated parking maneuver to be carried out via a parking assistance system with a motor vehicle is provided. The parking assistance system can be operated remotely from outside the motor vehicle by way of a mobile communications device. The method includes outputting an instruction via the mobile communications device for the user-side execution of a predefined activation movement of the mobile communications device; determining first sensor information relating to the activation movement of the communications device by way of a communications-device-side sensor system; detecting an activation movement of the mobile communications device carried out by the mobile communications device based on the first sensor information; and activating the parking maneuver according to the detection of the activation movement of the mobile communications device.

A control unit for displaying a traffic situation on a screen of an ego vehicle is designed to display a first traffic participant symbol for a first traffic participant in a first sub-region of the screen and a second traffic participant symbol for a second traffic participant in a second sub-region of the screen. The control unit is additionally designed to determine that the first traffic participant symbol and the second traffic participant symbol are approaching each other in a specified manner on the basis of a change in the position of the second traffic participant relative to the first traffic participant. In response thereto, the control unit is further designed to at least partly hide the first and/or the second traffic participant symbol.
