Abstract
A method for supporting a driver of a motor vehicle when driving the motor vehicle through a narrow passage. In order to provide a cost-effective method, the anticipated vehicle path to be covered next is displayed to the driver. The width of the vehicle path shown corresponds to the actual width of the vehicle. If the length of the vehicle path display is realized in a speed-dependent fashion, information regarding the distance from the preceding vehicle arises as a further advantage.
