Method for assisting user of motor vehicle when swerving around obstacle, driver assistance device, and motor vehicle

The invention relates to a method for assisting a user of a motor vehicle (10) when swerving around an obstacle on a movement path of the motor vehicle (10). A driver assistance device (18) carries out the following: providing a warning signal which describes (S2) an object (14) on the movement path and a collision area (16) which is visible through a window, preferably a vehicle window (12) of the motor vehicle (10) and in which the object (14) is located; defining a swerving area (30) visible through the vehicle window (12), in which a swerving point for travelling around the object (14) isvisible (S3), generating an accentuation signal, which describes a measure for accentuating the swerving area (30) (S4), and transmitting the accentuation signal to an accentuation device (24) (S5). Depending on the accentuation signal, the measure for accentuating the swerving area (30, S6) is carried out. The accentuating device (24) can, for example, control a heads-up display and/or a monitorintegrated into the vehicl
