How to Reverse Park into a Parking Space in Daily Life?
2 Answers
Here are the steps for daily reverse parking: 1. Keep the car body about 30 centimeters away from the dotted line to facilitate reversing into the space; 2. Adjust the seat, fasten the seat belt, shift into reverse gear, and the car will start moving backward; 3. Observe the right rearview mirror, and when the left front corner of the yellow line of the parking space disappears, turn the steering wheel fully to the right; 4. Observe the left mirror, and when you see the opposite corner of the parking space, straighten the steering wheel; 5. Observe the right mirror, and when the right rear wheel enters the parking space, turn the steering wheel fully to the left. Precautions for reverse parking: 1. When driving to the starting position, ensure the car body is at an appropriate distance from the line, pressing the white line at the front right of the parking space but not exceeding it; 2. When reversing, make sure to align with the reference points and turn the steering wheel fully; 3. Once the car is in the space, ensure it is straight and the steering wheel is centered, avoiding any unnecessary turns.
For parallel parking, it's crucial to find the right reference points. I usually start by pulling up parallel to the front car, leaving about 1.5 meters of space in between. Shift into reverse and slowly back up while keeping a close eye on the side mirror. Once the adjacent car's front end fully appears in my mirror, I turn the steering wheel all the way to the left. During the reversing process, continuously check the position through both side mirrors and the reversing camera until the car body is nearly parallel with the parking lines, then quickly straighten the wheels. Make minor adjustments to balance the spacing on both sides while slowly backing all the way in. The most important thing is speed control - the slower, the easier to adjust. Don't be afraid to make multiple steering corrections either, practice makes perfect. It's helpful to practice in open areas using two water bottles as reference markers.
