1. A parking aid control system for a vehicle, the control system comprising at least one controller, the control system being configured to:
receive an indication of a gear selection made by a driver of the vehicle;
receive, from a plurality of proximity sensors associated with the vehicle, proximity data indicative of a location of at least one object in an environment of the vehicle;
receive wheel speed data from one or more wheel speed sensors associated with the vehicle;
determine that the vehicle is stationary in dependence on the wheel speed data;
determine a direction of travel of the vehicle in dependence on the gear selection;
selectively output to the driver an indication of the location of the at least one object when the direction of travel of the vehicle is substantially towards the at least one object, the direction of travel of the vehicle being substantially towards the at least one object if the object is located within a predetermined angle of a longitudinal axis of the vehicle in the directional of travel;
in dependence on the wheel speed data meeting one or more conditions, determine the direction of travel of the vehicle dependence on the gear selection; and
inhibit output of the indication in dependence on determining that the vehicle is stationary.
