What is the voice prompt for failing the ramp parking test?

When the vehicle starts smoothly and drives up the slope, and finally exits the ramp parking and starting test area, the in-car voice will indicate that the ramp parking and starting test item has been passed. Here is some introduction about the ramp parking test: Introduction: Ramp parking is an assessment point in the driver's Subject 2 test. It evaluates the driver's ability to operate the vehicle on an uphill section, properly park the vehicle at a fixed location near the curb, accurately use gears, throttle, and clutch, and then start smoothly. If the vehicle's bumper is not aligned with the pole line during the parking test, and the deviation exceeds 50cm front or back, the test will be failed. Precautions: Before going uphill, the direction should be corrected in the shortest possible time.
Last time when I took the driving test for hill-start, I made a mistake and the system immediately announced "Hill-start parking failed", which startled me! It was because my stopping position exceeded the designated range by a few centimeters, so the system deemed I didn't stop accurately. This taught me the importance of maintaining steady speed control – going too fast can overshoot the line, while too slow might cause rollback. Later, I repeatedly practiced hill-start techniques at the training ground, such as identifying reference markers for the stopping point and climbing the slope slowly to brake precisely. Although it was a minor setback in the exam, safety comes first: inaccurate hill starts in real life could lead to rollback accidents, and hitting the car behind would be troublesome. The voice feedback helps us correct mistakes promptly, which is part of the learning process.
After years of teaching driving, I've seen many students struggle with the hill-start assessment. The automated voice typically announces simply 'Hill-start project failed' when they don't pass. This means there's significant deviation in wheel positioning - either not within the marked lines or incorrect stopping position. The common issue is nervous students misjudging the braking point. I always recommend practicing clutch-throttle coordination during training, advising slower and steadier climbs. The testing system uses sensors to monitor positioning in real-time and gives voice feedback. Don't get discouraged by mistakes - analyze the cause and practice specifically. This test fundamentally evaluates safe hill-start techniques to prevent rollback collision risks in real driving.
