Many cars nowadays have reversing aids, which, to a certain extent, make up for the lack of visibility in the rear-view mirror, but reversing accidents are still happening every day. This shows that technology really is not everything! Whether it is a reversing image, a parking sensor, or even an automatic parking function, the owner will still clearly feel that there is a blind spot in use. So where is the blind spot of the parking sensor? How can we ensure safe reversing in the presence of a blind spot?
First, pay attention to the blind area when reversing
Whether it is a sedan or a hatchback SUV, there are several blind spots when reversing:
1. Blind Area: The front area of ​​the front side is much larger than the area occupied by the vehicle body because of the area crossed by the front of the vehicle. Therefore, when watching the rear of the vehicle, do not overlook the observation of the front and rear ends, especially when passing the front of the car. Pedestrians.
2. Dead zone: The area near the side of the car is invisible to the area on both sides of the car, and when the direction is played, the track of the front wheel is an arc, and there is a wheel gap with the rear wheel, so it may happen when reversing. .
3. Dead zone: Under the rear windshield, if there is no auxiliary equipment installed, this area is completely invisible when reversing. Conversely, if there is a reversing radar, the reversing radar cannot ensure complete when encountering some low obstacles. The judgment is correct.
4, the blind area: the rear area of ​​the right side of the body This is the area farthest from the driver, but also the most difficult areas of observation, because often blocked by the C-pillar (the more the appearance of the more streamlined blind spot of the car) and in the vehicle At the back, so a little carelessness can cause a collision.
Second, safe reversing method
If you plan to rewind, then you have to rewind around the car for a week before you get in. In addition to checking the condition of your car, you can see that there are no obstacles in the area to hide in the blind spot. No matter how large the rearview mirrors are, no matter how many reversing radars there are, and regardless of the extent of reversing images, it is safe to observe them personally. Especially large-scale off-road SUV models, but also to develop this habit.
Many people like to convert a car seat into a semi-lying type, and feel that it is comfortable, but such posture will greatly reduce the front vision, so when reversing the car to ensure that the seat is in a reasonable position. The correct approach is to raise the seat, you can see the front edge of the hood, the backrest is a reasonable angle, not too oblique, but it does not have to be too straight.
After adjusting the seat, adjust the mirror. In addition, when looking through the rearview mirror and reversing the vehicle, do not look back. It is easier to take into account the dynamics of the front end, and it is not easy to cause obstacles in front of the vehicle.
Illuminating the headlights or the brake lights helps in judging the distance from obstacles. Generally, the smaller the spot left on the objects, the closer the vehicle is to obstacles.
Parking in the same direction as the next vehicle can reduce the chance of the vehicle being damaged. If there are local cramps, there are obstacles on both sides of the car (if there is a car parked). When you fall left and back, try to get the car body to the left, and vice versa, so that you can turn ahead and shorten the distance.
Remember to slow down when reversing, to prevent unexpected situations. At the same time, do not drive the wheel in the same place. This will not only damage the car, but the direction of assistance at this time will also become heavy.
