Abstract
A parking assisting device provides parking assisting information consisting of a first intermittent sound of a tone (A) indicating that a vehicle is approaching a target stop position, a continuous sound of a tone (B) indicating that a position of a vehicle coincides with a target stop position and a second intermittent sound of a tone (C) indicating that a vehicle has gone beyond a target stop position. An intermittent period of the first intermittent sound changes to be shorter as the vehicle approaches a target stop position closer and an intermittent period of the second intermittent sound changes to be longer as the vehicle goes beyond the target stop position farther.
