Tips for parallel parking an SUV for beginners are as follows: Assess the parking space size: No matter what method you use, the first step to parking in a so-called 'parking space' is ensuring the space is large enough. For roadside parallel parking spaces, it is recommended to choose a space that is at least one meter longer than your vehicle for safety. Determine the starting position: When parking, starting to reverse when about 1.5 meters away from the adjacent car is the safest. However, in real-life situations, such parking conditions may not always be available, and the distance can be appropriately shortened. Full right turn to reverse into the space: When reversing, turn the steering wheel fully to the right (to better protect the steering system, it is recommended to turn it slightly back in the opposite direction after turning fully. Also, try to turn the wheel while moving slowly, as turning the wheel while stationary can cause some damage to the vehicle and should be avoided in actual operation). Begin reversing slowly, and when the front of your car forms a 45-degree angle with the adjacent car, straighten the steering wheel.
