The method includes: recording a sequence of vehicle camera images using at least three vehicle cameras; recording a sequence of trailer camera images using the trailer camera; acquiring odometry data of the vehicle; ascertaining the trailer angle; storing items of image information about the close range of the vehicle; adjusting the position of the stored items of image information as a function of the detected odometry data; and displaying an environment model from a virtual observational perspective, preprocessed current vehicle and trailer camera images being projected onto a projection area of the environment model and being joined. For partial areas of the environment of the vehicle that are not represented, the stored items of information are projected onto the projection area according to their position and are joined to the vehicle and trailer camera images.
