A system for determining horizontal clearance for a vehicle includes a ranging sensor configured to measure a distance between the vehicle and an object in an environment surrounding the vehicle. The system further may include a human-machine interface (HMI). The system further may include a controller in electrical communication with the ranging sensor and the HMI. The controller is programmed to determine an available clearance distance between a door of the vehicle and the object in the environment surrounding the vehicle using the ranging sensor. The controller is further programmed to compare the available clearance distance to one or more predetermined clearance distance thresholds. The controller is further programmed to provide information to an occupant of the vehicle using the HMI based at least in part on the available clearance distance and the one or more predetermined clearance distance thresholds.
