What are the key reference points for automatic transmission right-angle turns?
1 Answers
There are four techniques for automatic transmission right-angle turns. Technique 1: Keep the right side of the vehicle close to the outer right-angle edge line while moving forward. When the midpoint between the triangular windows of the left and right front doors aligns with the inner and outer right-angle lines, turn the steering wheel fully left or right, then straighten when the vehicle is aligned. Technique 2: Proceed in first gear without accelerating; stay as close as possible to the right boundary line during the turn. When the seatbelt anchor point inside the cabin passes the corner, turn the steering wheel sharply left until fully locked. When the front of the car aligns with the exit, quickly straighten the wheel to prepare for the next right-angle turn. Technique 3: Proceed in first gear without accelerating. When entering the test area, stay close to the right curb. Once the front curb is obscured by the hood, turn the steering wheel sharply left until fully locked. When the front of the car aligns with the exit, quickly straighten the wheel. Technique 4: Before entering the right-angle turn, drive slowly while keeping the vehicle as far as possible from the turning point marker between the boundary lines. When the center of the small triangular window on the side closest to the turning point aligns with the turning point, turn the steering wheel fully toward that side. After passing through, straighten the wheel when the front of the car is aligned.
