Which Rearview Mirror to Look at When Reversing into a Parking Space?
1 Answers
Whether reversing to the right or left (reverse parking or forward parking), you can look at the left rearview mirror. Here are the specific instructions for reversing into a parking space: 1. Reverse Parking. When the vehicle is slowly starting to move backward from the stop line in a half-clutch state, observe the front window decal on the right rear triangular window pillar. When the decal touches the right boundary line of the parking space (you can adjust slightly in advance), immediately turn the steering wheel fully to the right at a steady speed. Then, shift your gaze to the left rearview mirror, paying attention to the distance between the car body and the left front corner of the parking space (if the distance is less than 20-30 cm, adjust the steering wheel slightly). When the left boundary line of the parking space is fully visible, immediately straighten the steering wheel. Stop the car when the front boundary line of the parking space aligns with the lower edge of the left rearview mirror. 2. Forward Parking. When the vehicle is slowly exiting the parking space in a half-clutch state, align the driver's body with the front boundary line of the parking space, then turn the steering wheel to the left (approximately one and a quarter turns, with the steering wheel at the one o'clock position). Continue moving forward until the car stops at the left parking line of the parking space, ensuring the car body is straight without adjusting the steering wheel. Reverse along the same path, observing the relationship between the car body and the left front corner of the parking space (if the distance is less than 20-30 cm, adjust the steering wheel slightly). When the left boundary line of the parking space is fully visible, immediately straighten the steering wheel. Stop the car when the front boundary line of the parking space aligns with the lower edge of the left rearview mirror.
