It is the point where the line intersects with the central axis of the left rear wheel. Below is a partial introduction about parallel parking: 1. Operation requirements: The driver must maneuver the vehicle into the right parking space (or garage) by moving forward and backward once without touching or scraping the parking space poles, and without the wheels pressing or touching the lane boundary lines or parking space boundary lines. 2. Introduction: Parallel parking is one of the items in the driving test (Subject 2). Parallel parking is becoming increasingly common in urban areas, especially as parking spaces in formal parking lots become more scarce. Many places have converted the original street sides into parking spaces, known as 'parallel parking spaces.'

Ever since I started practicing parallel parking during driving lessons, I often made mistakes. The issue of the rear wheels crossing the line mainly refers to the side of the rear wheel tires or the outer edge of the wheel hub touching the parking line. This usually happens due to incorrect steering timing or the car body not being aligned properly. Beginners, like myself back then, often focus too much on the front and neglect checking the rearview mirrors, leading to deviation. To avoid crossing the line, you need to control the speed and go slower during reversing, repeatedly adjusting the steering wheel to align the rear wheels with the parking line. Even after years of driving, I still remind my novice friends to practice more to get the hang of it, because crossing the line not only risks penalty points but also potential scratches on curbs or pedestrians, so safety always comes first. A few practice rounds with a cardboard box in the parking lot can help you master the trick.

Having driven for over a decade, I believe rear wheel alignment mainly refers to the position where the outermost tread of the rear tire or wheel rim touches the parking line during reversing. Common causes include understeering or misaligned body angles, especially for beginners who often experience this issue due to skewed sightlines. To prevent crossing the line, it's advisable to reverse slowly into the parking space while frequently checking the rearview mirror to ensure the wheels are parallel to the ground line. If you do cross the line, stop immediately and make slight directional adjustments—never ignore it as it can damage tires or cause misunderstandings with other vehicles. The essence of safe driving lies in attention to detail, and from experience, I've learned that observing wheel position through the rearview mirror is crucial.

Based on experience in frequently helping others with car repairs, side parking with the rear wheel over the line usually refers to the tire sidewall or wheel rim edge touching the parking line. This is mostly caused by turning too sharply or inaccurate position judgment. The method to avoid crossing the line is to keep the steering wheel turning slowly while reversing and align the reference point with the rearview mirror. Correct immediately if deviation is detected. Although crossing the line is common, proper practice can reduce its occurrence.

What is the reason for the Baojun 730 EPB system failure causing the car not to start?

Baojun 730 EPB system failure is most likely caused by an electronic parking brake malfunction. EPB stands for Electrical Park Brake, which is the electronic parking brake system commonly referred to as the electronic handbrake. Below is additional information: 1. Confirming the fault: Since an electronic handbrake failure could be due to issues with components such as the wheel speed sensor, throttle position sensor, handbrake switch, wheel speed sensor, or motor, any abnormality in these parts might trigger the EPB warning light. Therefore, it is recommended that the owner take the vehicle to a repair shop for inspection. A diagnostic tool can quickly and accurately identify the source of the fault. 2. Technology: The electronic handbrake is a technology that achieves parking braking through electronic control. Its working principle is the same as that of a mechanical handbrake, both relying on the friction generated between the brake disc and brake pads to control parking braking. The only difference is that the control method has changed from a mechanical handbrake lever to an electronic button. 3. Application: The electronic handbrake has evolved from basic parking functions to include the automatic parking function AUTO-HOLD. The application of AUTO-HOLD automatic parking technology allows drivers to avoid prolonged braking when the vehicle is stopped. With the automatic electronic parking brake engaged, unnecessary sliding of the vehicle is prevented, simply put, the vehicle will not roll backward.
