  "textContent": "A parking assistance apparatus for a vehicle (1) includes processing means (15) arranged to: determine the size of a parking space according to inputs received from sensing means (11); determine a pathway along which the vehicle is to be moved, to position the vehicle within the parking space so that the vehicle is laterally and / or longitudinally offset within the parking space; and to generate control signals for a vehicle steering device (3) to guide the vehicle along said pathway. Driver controls (140, Fig. 5b) allow desired offset(s) to be programmed, optionally as a percentage of the available offsets; and for the desired offset(s) to be committed to memory, optionally for more than one regular vehicle user. One or more vehicle door mirror(s) (61) may be folded in automatically as required. A method for parking a vehicle (1) is also described.",
