Most motorists usually drive their vehicle forward. Occasionally, you might have todrive in reverse gear, such as when you are backing out of a parking spot or parallel parking. Initially, driving in reverse can seem difficult, especially if you have not had much practice doing it. Luckily, it is easy to learn to drive your vehicle in reverse. By following a few simple steps, you can learn to drive in reverse gear in no time.

Part 1 of 3: Getting ready to drive in reverse gear

Step 1: Adjust the seat。First, you need to adjust your seat so that you can still press the brake and gas, even while your body is turned around slightly to back up.

The seat position should allow you to easily and comfortably turn around and look over your right shoulder while still having the ability to press the brake and stop quickly if needed.

如果您需要延长时间往返的时间，则最好在此操作时将座椅更靠近方向盘调整，然后再向前驶去后再次重新调整座椅。

Step 2: Position the mirrors。在反向行驶之前，请确保您的镜子还需要正确调整，以防您需要使用它们。调整后，镜子应为您提供完整的视野。

请记住，如果您再次开始前进后，您需要重新调整座椅，则需要重新调整它们。

Step 3: Put on your seatbelt。As a final precaution, fasten your seatbelt before performing any kind of driving maneuver, including driving in reverse.

• Note: Make sure the seatbelt is over your shoulder as designed. Proper seatbelt use can help prevent injury in case of an accident.

Part 2 of 3: Putting the car in reverse gear

After adjusting your seat and mirrors, and making sure your seatbelt is on properly, it is time to put your vehicle into reverse. Depending on your car type, you can accomplish this in one of a few ways. Your vehicle’sgear shifteris either on the steering column or on the center floor console, depending on the vehicle make and model, and whether the vehicle has an automatic or manual transmission.

Option 1: Automatic transmission on the column。For vehicles with anautomatic transmissionthat have the gear shift on the steering column, you need to keep your foot on the brake as you pull the shifter down into reverse. Do not remove your foot from the brake or turn around until after you have shifted into reverse.

Option 2: Automatic transmission on the floor。The same goes for vehicles with automatic transmissions that have the gear shift on the floor console. Hold the brake and maneuver the gear shifter down and into reverse gear.

Step 3: Manual transmission on the floor。用于带有manual transmissionand the gear shifter on the floor, reverse is the opposite of the fifth gear and usually requires you to maneuver the gear shifter over and down to place it into reverse.

Part 3 of 3: Steering while in reverse gear

Once you have the vehicle in reverse gear, it is time to drive backwards. At this point, you can turn around and release the brake slowly. In addition, you want to avoid going too fast, so do not press the gas pedal unless you need to. Focus on where you are going and use the brake to slow your progress if you start going too fast.

步骤1：环顾四周。Make sure the area around your vehicle is clear of pedestrians or other moving vehicles. This requires you to scan the area all around your vehicle.

向左转，看着驾驶员的侧窗外，甚至在需要的情况下看着左肩。继续扫描该区域，直到您看着右肩。

Once you are sure the area is clear, you can proceed.

步骤2：看着你的右肩。Keep your left hand on the middle of the steering wheel while while placing your right hand on the back of the passenger's seat, and look over your right shoulder.

If needed, you can apply the brake at any time during the reversing process and scan the area for foot or vehicle traffic again to make sure no one is coming.

步骤3：转向车辆。Using your left hand only, steer the vehicle while you drive in reverse. Keep in mind that when driving in reverse, turning the steering wheel turns your vehicle in the opposite direction as it does when driving forward.

如果将前轮转到右侧，则车辆的后部向左转。靠背时向右转动也是如此，这要求您向左转向方向盘。

Do not make any drastic turns while driving in reverse. Incremental moves of the steering wheel allow you to correct your course more easily than sharp turns. Use the brake as needed and avoid giving too much, if any, gas.

如果需要，您也可以转身看左肩。这使您可以在转向右边时获得更好的视野。只需确保也朝相反的方向看，以确保什么都没有。

Step 3: Stop the vehicle。Once you have reached your desired position, it is time to stop the vehicle. This simply requires you to use the brake. Once the vehicle is stopped, you can either put it in park, or into drive if you need to drive forward.

当您遵循上面提供的步骤时，以反向齿轮行驶很简单。只要您保持对车辆的控制并慢慢行驶，就可以将车辆备份到需要停车或停车的地方就没有问题。通过让您的Mechanic的一位专家机制执行一个，请确保您的镜子和制动器正常工作万博体育入口万博亚洲客户端75-point safety inspection在your vehicle.
