Abstract
The method includes the steps of picking up a rear area image FI behind a motor vehicle, displaying the rear area image FI, sensing a steering angle of the vehicle, and sensing a position of the vehicle. A vehicle image VI is superposed on a desired parking position P of the vehicle in the rear area image FI, and a predicted vehicle route image TR is generated within the predetermined area based on a steering angle and an initial position of the vehicle, while an actual vehicle route image TR is generated based on actual steering angles and positions of the vehicle. The vehicle image V , the predicted vehicle route image TR , and the actual vehicle route image TR are superposed on the rear area image FI. The method further has a step for obtaining a difference between the predicted vehicle route image TR and the actual vehicle route image TR and another step for noticing a steering angle correction message based on the difference.
