Original Abstract Submitted
A parking assistance apparatus sets a reference moving route, based on route information when a feature point corresponding to a registered start feature point is detected, automatically parking an own vehicle at a parking space is not requested, and a driver of the own vehicle starts manually parking the own vehicle at the parking space. After the driver starts manually parking the own vehicle at the parking space, the parking assistance apparatus executes an automatic parking control when automatically parking the own vehicle at the parking space is requested, and a positional relationship between the own vehicle and the reference moving route satisfies a predetermined condition.
