It doesn\u2019t matter if you are just starting to drive or have been driving for a while, parallel parking can make many drivers balk. It isn\u2019t difficult to need a refresher on how to do so. Of course, you can find other options, like having your vehicle parallel park for you. Let\u2019s check it out.<\/p>\n

How to parallel park<\/h3>\n
    \n
  1. Find a spot you like.<\/li>\n
  2. Double check your surroundings<\/li>\n
  3. Be sure to signal!<\/li>\n
  4. Pull up to the car in front of the spot you want to park in.<\/li>\n
  5. Double check your surroundings.<\/li>\n
  6. Turn your steering wheel to the right.<\/li>\n
  7. Back up whilst still turning the steering wheel.<\/li>\n
  8. Turn your steering wheel to the left to get the nose of your car into the spot but be aware of the vehicle in front of you to make sure you don\u2019t accidentally scrape it.<\/li>\n
  9. Make sure you are close enough to the curb.<\/li>\n
  10. You\u2019re done!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Please make sure you are aware of your surroundings and any oncoming vehicles. It\u2019s also very important to indicate your intention of parallel parking with your turn signals. It isn\u2019t a bad idea to search for an empty parking lot and setting up orange cones to practice a few times.<\/p>\n

    Can my vehicle parallel park for me?<\/h3>\n

    Yes! Your vehicle can parallel park for you. There\u2019s a nifty feature called active parking assist you can potentially find on your vehicle.<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Active Parking Assist will find a spot with enough space for your car when you drive either at 20 mph or lower. A \u201cP\u201d icon will light up to indicate the active parking assist is looking for a spot to park in.<\/li>\n
    2. Once the technology finds a spot, an arrow will light up.<\/li>\n
    3. If you want to park in the spot your vehicle found you need to put your car in reverse.<\/li>\n
    4. Select the \u201cOK\u201d button on your display screen.<\/li>\n
    5. Your vehicle will now help you parallel park, but you still need to use the brake and gas pedal.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
