When reversing into a parking space, if the car body is not aligned properly, the specific situations and adjustment methods are as follows: 1. Steering wheel turned too early: Observe the right rearview mirror. The right rear of the car body gradually approaches the right corner of the parking space. When the rear of the car is about 30 cm away from the corner, and the right front door handle is still outside the extension line of the right boundary of the parking space (i.e., to the right), adjustment is needed: Immediately turn the steering wheel one full turn to the left, then continue reversing. When the right front door handle crosses the extension line of the right boundary of the parking space, turn the steering wheel fully to the right. Once the car enters the parking space and the body is parallel to the boundary line, straighten the steering wheel. 2. Steering wheel turned too late: If the distance between the wheel and the corner of the parking space seen in the left rearview mirror is greater than 30 degrees, keep the steering wheel from straightening until the distance is appropriate. 3. "Left wide, right narrow" position in the rearview mirror: Turn the steering wheel 1/4 turn to the left, and straighten it when the car body is aligned. 4. "Right wide, left narrow" position in the rearview mirror: Turn the steering wheel 1/4 turn to the right, and straighten it when the car body is aligned. 5. When the car body is parallel to the parking space but the entire car is biased to the left or right: If the car is biased to the left, first turn the steering wheel 1/4 turn to the right, ensuring the front wheels do not cross the line. When the right distance is appropriate, turn the steering wheel 1/4 turn to the left. When the car body is parallel to the parking space again, straighten the steering wheel. If the car is biased to the right, the method is the same but in the opposite direction.

What does ACC Active Cruise Control System mean?

Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), also known as Active Cruise, is an intelligent automatic control system. The ACC system replaces the driver in controlling vehicle speed, eliminating the need for frequent cancellation and resetting of cruise control, making the cruise system suitable for more road conditions. The driver can completely remove their foot from the pedal, only needing to focus on the steering wheel. Relevant information about the car steering wheel is as follows: 1. Function: Its function is to convert the force applied by the driver to the edge of the steering wheel into torque and transmit it to the steering shaft. 2. Correct grip: If the steering wheel is viewed as a clock face, the correct hand position is to place the left hand between the 9 and 10 o'clock positions and the right hand between the 3 and 4 o'clock positions. In the event of a collision, this posture is more conducive to supporting the body.
