Abstract
An assistance system for assisting the driver of a motor vehicle when positioning the motor vehicle at a predefined target position is provided. The target position is preferably a charging position for wireless, in particular inductive, charging of the motor vehicle. In order to position the motor vehicle, the longitudinal movement of the vehicle can be controlled manually by one or more operator control elements (e.g., accelerator pedal, brake pedal) which can be actuated by the driver. The assistance system assists the manual longitudinal control during positioning. The assistance system serves to influence the manual longitudinal control. By influencing the manual longitudinal control, the assistance system counteracts, as a function of the respective position information, the longitudinal movement of the vehicle at least for certain relative positions, in order to bring the vehicle to a stop essentially at the target position.
