A motor vehicle includes a distance related speed control system, wherein if the motor vehicle is following a vehicle driving in front, a target distance from the vehicle driving in front chosen by the driver is generally set, and wherein for a distance-shortening turn signal effect time when a turn signal is set, a shortened target distance is set. The motor vehicle further has a lane departure warning system, wherein a warning that is generally activated if there is a risk of an unintentional lane departure is suppressed for a specified warning-suppressing turn signal effect time after the setting of the turn signal. The warning-suppressing turn signal effect time begins simultaneously with the distance-shortening turn signal effect time, wherein these two turn signal effect times are specified to have the same length.

A method is provided for resuming the movement of a motor vehicle after unforeseen stopping in an automated parking process performed by a parking assistance system having automated longitudinal and transverse guidance. If the vehicle is stopped, a decision is made about a resumption of movement of the vehicle in the prior direction of travel that existed before the vehicle was stopped. The decision is made in dependence on the remaining travel path from the current position to the next planned stopping point of the trajectory lying in the prior direction of travel. A stopping point of the trajectory can be a reversal point or the final parking position, for example. If the decision is positive, the movement of the vehicle is resumed in the prior direction of travel. If the decision is negative, the movement of the vehicle is resumed against the prior direction of travel. Alternatively, in the case of a negative decision, the movement of the vehicle may not be resumed and the parking process may be ended.
