You can drive over the dashed line while moving into the parking space, but not after the car is parked. Here are some practice tips for parallel parking: 1. Based on the length of the vehicle: The length of the parallel parking space should be 1.5 times the length of the vehicle plus 1 meter. Drive the car parallel to the parking space in the forward direction, then reverse into the space to the right rear without any pauses. As long as the car is parked within this range without crossing the boundary lines of the parking space, it is considered a pass. 2. Use the rearview mirrors for guidance: When the left front corner of the parking space disappears from the right rearview mirror, turn the steering wheel to the right to the limit and continue reversing. While reversing, watch the left rearview mirror. When the bottom line of the parking space is fully visible, straighten the steering wheel and continue reversing. Keep watching the left rearview mirror, and when the left rear wheel is about to touch the left boundary line of the parking space, quickly turn the steering wheel to the left to the limit. Then, signal normally and drive out of the yellow marked box.

What Causes the Squeaking Noise When Depressing the Clutch?

The reasons for a squeaking noise when depressing the clutch are: 1. Worn clutch disc; 2. Broken clutch pressure plate spring; 3. Loose release bearing; 4. Lack of lubricant. Solutions for abnormal clutch noise include: 1. Replacing the clutch disc; 2. Replacing the clutch pressure plate spring; 3. Adjusting the release bearing; 4. Adding lubricant. The working principle of the clutch is: 1. When starting the vehicle, the driver depresses the clutch, causing the pressure plate to separate from the friction disc, at which point the pressure plate and flywheel are completely disengaged; 2. During normal driving, the pressure plate tightly presses against the flywheel's friction disc, creating significant friction between them, maintaining relative static friction between the input and output shafts, and ensuring they rotate at the same speed.
