How to Steer the Wheel for Right-side Reverse Parking?

[McLondon]

Here are the steps for steering the wheel during right-side reverse parking: 1. Look at the left rearview mirror, and when the right starting sensor line appears at the lower edge of the left mirror and aligns with the sensor line, turn the steering wheel fully to the right; 2. Without stopping, observe the right rearview mirror, and when the right boundary line becomes visible and the distance between the car body and the corner of the parking space is less than 30CM, turn the steering wheel back halfway; 3. Continue moving, and when the corner of the parking space disappears from the lower edge of the right rearview mirror, turn the steering wheel fully to the right again; 4. Observe the right rearview mirror, and when the boundary line of the parking space aligns parallel with the car body, quickly straighten the steering wheel and continuously adjust the car body; 5. Observe the left rearview mirror to keep the car body parallel with the boundary line of the parking space, and stop when the front boundary line of the parking space appears in the position of the left mirror.

When backing into a garage from the right side, my personal approach is to first park parallel to the parking space and come to a complete stop. Then, I slowly reverse while turning the steering wheel all the way to the right. This allows the rear of the car to quickly move toward the parking space. I keep an eye on the rearview mirror to monitor the position of the car's rear. When the rear is about to align with the centerline of the parking space, I turn the steering wheel slightly to the left to adjust the angle and avoid hitting obstacles on the right side. The entire process must be done at a slow speed—moving too quickly can easily cause deviation or scraping. When I first started, I often hit things because I didn’t adjust in time, but after practicing a few more times, it became much smoother. I recommend practicing in an open area first—safety comes first. This method is very practical, and the key is to coordinate the steering wheel movements with careful observation in the rearview mirror.

The technique for right-side reverse parking is quite simple: First, I position my car parallel to the parking space, then start reversing while turning the steering wheel fully to the right to swing the rear end in. Next, I check the rearview mirror—when about half of the car body has entered the space, I gently turn the steering wheel left to straighten and fine-tune the position, aiming for a smooth and centered alignment. I always emphasize speed and observation—never rush when reversing; moving slowly is safer. After practicing a few times, I naturally found the rhythm. Beginners often get nervous and tend to oversteer. Bonus tip: Be extra cautious when reversing in rainy conditions or poor nighttime lighting.

My suggestion for right reverse parking is to handle the steering wheel as follows: After parking parallel to the space, start reversing. First, turn the steering wheel to the right. Second, when the rear of the car enters the parking space, observe the position in the rearview mirror and turn the steering wheel to the left to adjust the car's direction. Maintaining low speed to avoid collisions is key. This process is concise and practical, and it's how I usually operate.
