It is appropriate to use two feet for an automatic transmission. Here are some precautions for driving an automatic transmission: 1. Avoid coasting in N (neutral) gear: Experienced manual transmission drivers often coast in neutral to save fuel. While coasting in neutral may contribute to fuel efficiency in manual transmissions, it is important to note that automatic transmissions must not be coasted in N gear. 2. Avoid emergency gear shifting: When shifting gears in an automatic transmission, always ensure the vehicle comes to a complete stop before changing gears (especially for reverse and P (park) gears). Otherwise, it can severely damage the transmission. The transmission's solenoid valves control the flow of transmission fluid to enable forward and reverse movement. Shifting gears before the vehicle has fully stopped can abruptly alter this flow, causing shock to the transmission. Over time, this can lead to transmission failure.

How to adjust the steering when the right side is too wide during right reverse parking?

Use the distance between the car body and the sideline as the correction standard. If the rear of the car is too close to the right sideline of the parking space, turn the steering wheel to the left to adjust. On the contrary, if it is too close to the left sideline of the parking space, turn the steering wheel to the right to adjust. Keep the car body parallel to the sideline of the parking space, and stop when the front line of the parking space appears at the position of the left rearview mirror.

How to Steer the Wheel for Right-Side Parking?

When the right starting sensor line appears and aligns with the lower edge of the left rearview mirror, turn the steering wheel fully to the right. Observe the right rearview mirror. When the far right line becomes visible and the distance between the car body and the parking corner is less than 30CM, turn the wheel back halfway. When the parking corner disappears below the lower edge of the right rearview mirror, continue to turn the steering wheel fully to the right. Observe the right rearview mirror. When the parking line is parallel to the car body, quickly straighten the steering wheel and continuously adjust the car body.
