This interactive model of driving your car is used by accessing your mobile device. It combines instruction videos and text to get you an understanding of how to parallel park your car, and a timed parking where you can practise it yourself. The model includes cars, a steering wheel, arrows and symbols in five steps. The steps are explained with text on the screen. The app supports both right-hand and left-hand traffic. This can afterwards be practiced in a parking .

Models

The model shows you how you can manoeuvre your car into a parking space in five steps: start at the correct position, make a full turn until you see the light of the car behind in your side mirror, reverse straight back until “corner meets corner”, make a full turn in the other direction and reverse, then adjust forward. Remember to only use the rear-view side mirrors to look back and to use full turns of the steering wheel. A full written description is available under Settings → Information in the mobile app.

Usage

When starting the app you will find a menu with where you can learn, play, rank yourself in a global ranking and manage your settings.

Learning

In the instructions section you can learn the technique of parallel parking. At the bottom you will find buttons, those consist of pedals to interact to go forward (GAS) or pause (BRAKE) the video as well as buttons 1–5 to jump to a step of the model.

The parking

In the parking section you drive the red car and park it between the yellow and the blue car. Use the up and down arrows to drive forward or reverse, the left and right arrows to turn the steering wheel, and the brake in the middle straighten the wheels. The timer starts when you press the gas for the first time and stops when your whole car is inside the parking space. If you hit another car the parking restarts. After a successful park you can save your score on your device or submit it to the global ranking and make a one-time purchase.

Global ranking and Pro

Anyone can view the Global ranking with the fastest times from drivers around the world. With Pro you can submit your own time (your name, optional country and time will be visible to everyone), race against a replay of your best global parking, use a guide line and see the steering wheelwhile reversing. Pro is unlocked after a successful parking and under Settings → Pro. Purchases are handled by the App Store or Google Play.

Settings

In Settings you can choose if you are driving on the right side or left side of the road. This changes both the instruction video and the parking. You can also read the full description, manage Pro and reset the scores saved on your device. The app is available in English, German, Spanish, French, Hindi and Swedish and follows the language of your device.
