8. The display control system of claim 1 further comprising a parking marker module configured to, based on at least one of the first, second, third, and fourth images, indicate whether one or more parking markers are located within the predetermined area around the vehicle,
wherein the parking module is configured to, in response to the parking marker module indicating that one or more parking markers are located within the predetermined area around the vehicle, increase the predetermined position and decrease the predetermined steering wheel angle.
9. The display control system of claim 1 further comprising a human module configured to, based on at least one of the first, second, third, and fourth images, indicate whether one or more humans are located within the predetermined area around the vehicle,
wherein the display control module is configured to, in response to the human module indicating that a human is located within the predetermined area around the vehicle, display, on the display, both:
the surround view on a first portion of the display; and
one of the first, second, third, and fourth images including the human on a second portion of the display, the first and second portions of the display being different portions of the display.
10. The display control system of claim 9 wherein the display control module is configured to, in response to the human module indicating that the human is located less than a predetermined distance from the vehicle:
display only one of the first, second, third, and fourth images including the human on the display,
wherein the predetermined distance is less than a distance between the vehicle and a boundary of the predetermined area in the direction of the human.
11. A display control method for a vehicle, comprising:
