The most common driving maneuvers that cause difficulties for novice car owners are parallel parking and driving into the garage. Learning to do the latter takes a little knowledge and a lot of practice.
Instructions
Step 1
The general rules for performing any maneuvers, including entering the garage, are to be calm and tidy. Calm down - often anxiety constrains your actions and interferes with adequate observation and control of the machine. It is necessary to clearly understand what manipulations will be required from you, at what time and why. Try to look at the situation from the outside, take it comprehensively. In advance, mentally plot the trajectory of the movement.
Step 2
In no case should you drive into the garage with a U-turn. Sometimes even very confident drivers fall into this trap, scratching the doors and fenders of the car.
Step 3
Drive up to the garage so that the car stops right in front of the doors. Get out of it, after applying the parking brake. After opening your garage doors, make sure they don't get blocked by the wind when you drive in. Secure them with something, such as stones, if there are no special clips.
Step 4
It is most convenient to drive into the garage in front. If you are an uncertain driver, use this method only. This will give more control over the car. In the dark, your path will be illuminated by the headlights and you do not have to turn back to view or navigate the rear and side mirrors, which will greatly simplify manipulation.
Step 5
It is necessary to drive into the garage smoothly, since the gates, as a rule, have relatively small dimensions. It is necessary to very precisely control the movement of the car in order to obtain the possibility of a complete abrupt stop. If there is a lift at the entrance to the garage, and you have not rolled the car completely, you should roll it back by inertia and try again, with a little more pressure on the accelerator pedal. It is also worth rolling the car back out if you can't drive straight. Achieve such a position of the car so that when you arrive, you practically do not need to steer.
Step 6
The parking assistance system, which is a parking radar, greatly simplifies the entrance to the garage. Special indicators on the dashboard will inform you about the distance between the car and nearby objects, minimizing the possibility of collisions. In expensive devices of this series, it is possible to use cameras of rear and side views, the image from which will be transmitted to the display. These systems are very accessible, and in their absence, they can be installed in any car.
