1. A method for moving a vehicle to a component of an object at a distance therefrom, the vehicle having a navigation module which has a camera and an evaluation electronics, comprising the steps of:
attaching an identification element to the object in a predetermined position in such a way that it is recognized by the camera in a far range (Dmax) of the vehicle from the object, and
calculating a reverse driving line of the vehicle by the evaluation electronics from the perspective position of the camera in relation to the identification element, wherein a close-range (Dmin) is defined in the direction of the object by a close-range radius (Rmin) and the reverse driving line is calculated up to a virtual pre-positioning point (SVi, SVii, SViii) lying on the close-range radius (Rmin).
