What Issues Should Be Noted When Reversing?
1 Answers
Pay attention to obstacle obstruction, adjust the interior rearview mirror properly, consider both sides, avoid over-reliance on reversing cameras and parking sensors, and be especially cautious in garages or underground parking lots. Below are the relevant precautions for reversing: 1. Pay attention to obstacle obstruction: When reversing, if there are walls or other vehicles blocking the view, extra caution is needed. Reduce speed, honk frequently, reverse slowly, and look back frequently. 2. Adjust the interior rearview mirror properly: Due to varying heights, the rearview mirror should be adjusted accordingly to avoid obstructed views when looking directly backward. Especially when driving someone else's car or a company vehicle, ensure the mirror is properly adjusted if you rely on it for reversing; otherwise, visibility may be compromised. 3. Consider both sides: If the parking space is small and vehicles are close together, pay attention to both sides while reversing. Avoid turning the steering wheel too sharply. For example, when reversing to the left rear, turn the wheel to the right slowly. If you are very close to the left-side vehicle, turn the wheel back slightly to the left. 4. Avoid over-reliance on reversing cameras and parking sensors: Although reversing cameras provide images of the rear, there are still many blind spots. Relying solely on the camera may result in collisions with unexpected objects, such as animals. Therefore, do not depend too much on the reversing camera; look back frequently before reversing. 5. Be especially cautious in garages or underground parking lots: When reversing in garages or underground parking lots, turn on the low beams, observe the distance to vehicles on both sides, and accurately judge the depth of the vehicle entering the space. Some vehicles have larger rear ends or spare tires at the back, so make accurate judgments based on the actual situation and brake in advance. If necessary, step out of the vehicle to check the distance to the rear wall while reversing.
