![]() Remember, as you're turning into the stall, to check that you will not hit the vehicle on either side of the stall. When your vehicle’s front end is even with the rear of the stall you want to park in, begin steering sharply to the right while slowly driving towards the centre of the stall.Approach the stall approximately one vehicle width from the parked vehicles. ![]() Check for approaching traffic from the front and rear.Signal your intention to park and slow down.You're meant to drive into and back out of them. These spaces are usually located in small urban centres and on one-way streets. Some parking spaces are at about a 60 degree angle to the road. More importantly, when you drive out you will have an excellent view. In addition, the front end swing occurs in the aisle, not between two parked cars and you're backing into a space you know is free of obstacles instead of backing into traffic. You have the advantage of being able to back in accurately because your windows are clear and you are warmed up for driving. Where a parking space is at 90 degrees (a right angle) to the road, as it is in most parking lots, it's recommended that you back into the space, unless prohibited. Don't rely primarily on the monitor when backing. Observe your mirrors and check or look through the rear window. As you back up, check the monitor for objects while being aware of your surroundings. Shift into reverse to activate the back-up camera. Before reversing, look over your shoulder and use your mirrors to check behind you. In the case of back-up cameras, the sun can interfere with the view as can snow, or dirt. However, they aren't substitutes for proper driving techniques. Driving assist options are becoming increasingly more standard on new vehicles.
