Why does the car body always go out of line when reversing into the garage?

Because there are problems with the operation details when reversing into the garage. The following are the reasons for the problems in the operation details: 1. The car body goes out of line and touches line ① when reversing into the garage: At the starting point of reversing into the garage, after turning the steering wheel to the left or right to the maximum, the prompt "car body out of line" appears: The mistake is at the starting point of reversing into the garage, the parking position is wrong, and the distance between the left side of the car body and line ① is less than 1.5 meters, which is too close. 2. The car body goes out of line and touches line ③ when reversing to the right into the garage: This is caused by turning the steering wheel back to the center too early. If the steering wheel has been turned back to the center, and the prompt "car body out of line" appears when correcting the direction, it is because the direction was not corrected in time or was over-corrected, resulting in the car body going out of line.

During my driving practice, I often went out of the lines when reversing into the parking space, mainly due to imprecise steering wheel control. The car turned too sharply or too slowly during reversing, especially when the turning point wasn’t timed correctly. With a longer car body, the turning radius is larger, making it easier to swing out. Another issue was that my starting position wasn’t aligned properly—I began reversing without proper alignment, leading to misdirection. It’s recommended to practice the basics more, have a friend stand nearby to guide you, or mark reference points on the ground. Reversing slowly makes adjustments easier—don’t rush, as haste leads to deviation. Going out of the lines is risky, but with more practice, you’ll get the hang of it. The key is to try multiple times to master the technique.

As a veteran driver with over a decade of experience, I've seen too many people fail at reverse parking, with the car body crossing the line often due to steering errors and visibility issues. Turning the steering wheel too much or too little easily causes deviation, especially when nervous beginners move stiffly; coupled with poorly adjusted rearview mirrors causing blurred vision, misjudging distances. The car body crossing the line can also happen with larger vehicles, like SUVs, where insufficient turning space makes it harder. The solution is to calm down and reverse slowly, using the mirrors to judge the relative position between the car body and the line; or install a reversing camera for assistance. Practice is key—don't be afraid to make mistakes, as each minor adjustment builds experience.

When learning to reverse, I find it most annoying when the car body crosses the line, mainly because the starting position wasn't chosen accurately. If you start reversing without proper alignment, the direction easily goes wrong; turning too early or too late also causes deviation. There's a big difference between car sizes—sedans are easier to handle, but SUVs are more challenging. I solved this by practicing daily in an open space with marked lines—finding a fixed reference point, like aligning the rear wheels with the line position, and reversing slowly while watching my movements. Don't just focus on speed; after practicing a dozen or so times, it becomes smoother. Additionally, adjusting the mirrors for better visibility significantly reduces line-crossing issues.

What is the Difference Between 4S Store Spray Paint and Original Factory Paint?

4S store spray paint and original factory paint differ in the following aspects: 1. Variety: Original factory paint refers to the paint applied during production in the factory, with the topcoat typically being amino paint that undergoes high-temperature baking. Currently, 4S stores mainly use polyurethane paint, which cures at room temperature or dries through low-temperature baking. 2. Repair level: While 4S stores can achieve the effect of original factory paint, it is not the genuine original factory paint. Processes like electrophoresis within the original factory paint cannot be replicated by 4S stores or repair shops; they can only repair the top three layers: the primer layer, color layer, and clear coat layer. 3. Lifespan: The lifespan of 4S store spray paint is shorter compared to original factory paint. The quality of the spray paint largely depends on paint mixing, the spraying environment, and the technical skill of the workers. Paint mixing may seem simple, but achieving the right mix is not easy. Complex car paints use color codes and computer analysis for tinting, while simpler ones involve manual addition of colorants and comparative tinting, adjusted bit by bit. It is impossible for the mixed paint to perfectly match the original factory paint, but the color difference is generally unnoticeable to the naked eye.

How to Engage the Reverse Gear in a Jetta?

To engage the reverse gear in a Jetta, press the gear lever downward once, then pull it forward to the left. Below are some important notes regarding gear shifting: 1. During normal driving, adopt a fuel-efficient approach by gently pressing the accelerator until reaching the shift RPM, then release the accelerator before pressing it again. 2. Never coast in neutral. 3. For automatic transmission vehicles, use the N (Neutral) gear only for short stops when the vehicle is completely stationary. 4. Always ensure the vehicle is fully stopped before shifting to P (Park) gear to avoid damaging the mechanical parts of the automatic transmission. 5. When starting an automatic transmission car, apply the accelerator pedal gently and avoid excessive force.

Why was the Geely Haoyue discontinued?

Geely Haoyue has not been discontinued. Relevant details are as follows: 1. Appearance: The style of the Geely Haoyue is similar to most models in the Geely family, leaning towards a sporty type. Although the design of the front is not exaggerated at all, it does not lack a sense of fashion due to the use of the latest family design language. 2. Body dimensions: The length, width, and height of the Geely Haoyue are 4835 1900 1780mm, with a maximum wheelbase of 2815mm, which is very excellent among models of the same level. The body contour of the Geely Haoyue is very square, and combined with its burly size, it easily gives a sense of oppression. Moreover, the whirlwind-style wheels of the Geely Haoyue are also very handsome, creating a quite strong sporty aura.

How to Use Cruise Control in Volkswagen Lavida?

Here is how to use the cruise control in Volkswagen Lavida: 1. The cruise control switch of Volkswagen Lavida is located on the lower left side of the steering wheel. Its main functions include turning off/resuming cruise control, setting speed limits, speed adjustment, and distance adjustment for the sports version. 2. Pressing CNL cancels the cruise control, while 0/1 turns it off. Press RES to resume cruise control. 3. The cruise control function does not activate immediately after turning on the switch. The SET button is used to set the desired speed. (Note: It can only be activated when the speed is above 30km/h.) 4. The silver buttons are used to adjust the speed value, with the left/right buttons controlling speed decrease/increase respectively. 5. The middle cylindrical button can also be used to manually set the following distance. Precautions for using cruise control are as follows: 1. Cruise control does not have automatic braking function, while adaptive cruise control is more intelligent and solves this problem. However, full automation of electronic devices still needs gradual improvement, so drivers should remain attentive to road conditions. 2. When the driver presses the brake pedal, cruise control stops working. The speed value is not cleared and can be restored to continue cruising. 3. In situations like heavy rain or winding mountain roads, please turn off the cruise function and switch to careful manual driving. 4. On downhill slopes, the vehicle may accelerate. Use the foot brake to assist and turn off cruise control if necessary.

Meaning of inspection-exempt vehicles: The 6-year exemption for non-commercial passenger vehicles means the vehicles are exempt from on-site inspection, but owners still need to visit designated "6-year exempt vehicle" service points to obtain inspection qualification labels.
