How to Reverse and Park a B2 Truck in the Garage?

If the vehicle body is tilted, it is very easy to cross the line during reversing and also prone to pressing the corner of the garage when exiting. The key to keeping the vehicle body straight is to learn how to correct it by observing the rearview mirrors. When starting to reverse, you can first turn the steering wheel half a turn to the right, keeping the vehicle body slightly tilted toward the garage direction while reversing. After the rear of the vehicle enters the garage, keep the steering wheel almost fully turned until the extension line of the vehicle's center line swings into the bottom edge of the garage about 50 centimeters, then start to turn the steering wheel back.
When reversing into a parking space, I take it slow to ensure precision. First, drive parallel past the parking spot by about one and a half meters, then shift into reverse and start moving. Quickly turn the steering wheel all the way—if parking to the right, turn the wheels left to begin reversing while closely monitoring the rearview and side mirrors to avoid crossing lines or scraping. When the car is at about a 45-degree angle, straighten the steering wheel and reverse smoothly until fully parked. For repositioning in tight spaces, I prefer to first signal with the turn indicator, then repeatedly move forward and backward, using small-angle turns to adjust the position while maintaining balance between the front and rear. These techniques come from years of driving trucks. Practicing in open areas helps improve feel—remember not to rush, keeping speed below 5 km/h is safest to prevent accidental collisions.
