The invention relates to an assistance
system (1) for a motor vehicle (20), comprising a parking sensor arrangement (2), an acoustic
system (5) for a vehicle interior (21), and a
control unit (10). The
control unit (10) is configured to detect at least one
parking space (30, 32, 34) by means of the parking sensor arrangement (2), to indicate this by means of an acoustic
signal (A) by means of the acoustic
system (5), and to determine a
parking space direction (P1, P2, P3). In order to optimize the assistance provided to a driver when locating a
parking space, the invention provides that the
control unit (10) is configured to set, with reference to a listening position (25) within the vehicle interior (21), a virtual original direction (R1, R2, R3) of the acoustic
signal (A), perceivable in the listening position (25), as a function of the parking space direction (P1, P2, P3).
