How to Find the Spot for Hill Parking?

Stop when the vehicle's bumper aligns with the parking pole line. Key Points for Spot Parking: The key to spot parking is balancing the front, rear, left, and right directions and distances, and you can also use reference objects. That is, set a fixed point on the vehicle body to align with a certain object on the test track. For example, use the window button inside the right door to align with a specific tree on the right side of the slope. Once the two align, stop immediately. Steps for Spot Parking: Hill starts are most prone to stalling or rolling backward, so pay attention to three steps. First, lightly press the accelerator while slowly releasing the clutch. Second, once you feel the car has forward momentum, release the handbrake and slightly increase the throttle. Once the car starts moving, gradually release the clutch.
When doing hill start parking, I always use the left side mirror to align: when the bottom of the mirror just covers the white line on the slope, the position is about right. I also make it a habit to check the body angle to avoid the front wheels getting too close to the edge and risking a scrape. After doing it a few times, it almost becomes instinctive, no need to consciously think about the movements. With more driving experience, I’ve found that developing good habits is crucial, like gently tapping the brakes to test the position each time I park, and only releasing when I’m sure it’s stable. Safety first—sliding down the slope would be a hassle. When facing different slopes, just flexibly adjust your reference points instead of rigidly sticking to one standard.
