The invention relates to a parking assistance system for the assisted or automatic parking of a motor vehicle comprising a parking assistant (11) and a steering actuator (13) and to a method for the assisted or automatic parking of a motor vehicle, whereby the driver can request a steering intervention for the purpose of automatic or assisted parking. According to the invention, a safety check of relevant system functions is carried out when the driver requests a steering intervention. According to said check it is made sure - whether the control device (12) of the parking assistant (11) outputs no error message, whether the control device (14) of the steering actuator (13) outputs no error message, whether communication between the two control devices is not defective and whether an automatic steering intervention is requested. The requested steering intervention is not carried out if one of the above conditions is not met.
