What are the steps for reversing into a parking space with a C2 automatic transmission?

Need to align the line at 1.5 meters, keeping the middle position of the left rearview mirror's bottom aligned with the yellow line while driving. Turn on the right turn signal, first let the vehicle reverse straight, when you see the starting line in front of the lower edge of the left rearview mirror, turn the steering wheel fully to the right and continue reversing. Observe the distance between the right rear wheel and the corner of the parking space through the right rearview mirror, try to maintain it at about 30cm. Use the rearview mirror to judge the distance between the car body and the parking space line, balance the car, straighten the steering wheel, and when reversing to the bottom line of the parking space near the lower edge of the left rearview mirror, press the brake to stop.
I remember when I first learned to drive, I often found parking in reverse quite troublesome. But now, after driving an automatic for a long time, I realize it's actually quite simple. First, get in the car, adjust the seat and rearview mirrors to ensure you can see behind you, then start the engine, shift to D gear, and move forward a bit to find a parking spot. Before shifting to reverse gear, always turn on the turn signal to alert others not to get too close. Then, slowly reverse while paying attention to both side mirrors and the rearview camera to avoid hitting walls or other cars. Gently turn the steering wheel without rushing, making small adjustments as needed. As you approach the parking spot, slow down and align with the lines, ensuring the car is completely in the space before firmly pressing the brake to stop. Finally, don’t forget to shift to P gear, engage the handbrake, and turn off the engine—only then is the entire process safely completed. With a few more practices, you’ll get the hang of it. Everyone starts off a bit flustered—just stay patient and don’t panic. It took me about six months of driving before I felt truly comfortable, and now reverse parking has become second nature.
