1. A parking aid control system for a vehicle, the control system comprising at least one controller, the control system being configured to:
receive proximity data indicative of a location of at least one object in an environment of the vehicle;
selectively output a signal to generate a parking aid interface in dependence on the location of the at least one object;
output, to the parking aid interface of the vehicle, parking aid data indicative of the location of the at least one object;
receive a cancellation signal indicative of a user input for inhibiting the parking aid interface;
inhibit, in dependence on the cancellation signal, the parking aid interface by inhibiting the selective output of the signal to generate the parking aid interface;
receive a gear change signal indicative of a change in a gear selection of the vehicle; and
suppress the inhibition of the parking aid interface in dependence on the gear change signal.
