What Causes the Left Side to Be Narrow When Reversing into a Parking Space?
1 Answers
Reversing into a parking space with the left side being narrow is usually due to turning the steering wheel too late or incorrectly. Here are the correct steps for reversing: 1. Shift into reverse gear: While reversing, pay attention to the left side mirror. When the mirror shows that the rear left wheel is about to cross the corner line of the parking space, quickly turn the steering wheel fully to the left. 2. Maintain distance: Observe the distance between the rear wheel and the left corner of the parking space. If the rear wheel is exactly 30cm away from the left corner, no adjustment is needed; simply continue reversing. 3. Monitor the side mirrors: Continue reversing while watching the side mirrors. When the car body is parallel to the parking space lines, quickly straighten the steering wheel. If the sides are uneven, make minor adjustments following the principle of 'steer towards the wider side.' 4. Stop line: Watch the stop line at the rear end in the mirror. When the lower edge of the mirror aligns with the yellow line, stop the car.
