Abstract

A method for operating a display unit in a vehicle includes detecting a parking space and collision obstacles. The collision obstacles are obstacles located in the vicinity of the vehicle and/or the parking space. A relative position of the vehicle to the parking space is determined.

The image comprises a virtual vehicle, a virtual parking space and schematic elements. The virtual vehicle is a schematic representation of the vehicle. The virtual parking space is a schematic representation of the parking space. The schematic elements are a schematic representation of the collision obstacles.
