New: Angled parking, pulling out of a space and cone parking drills. Try it

Parallel parking simulator

Between two cars, first time.

The instructor car lines up with the car ahead, reverses in at 45°, straightens the wheel, then goes full left to tuck in. You see how far the wheel turns and which gear is selected at every step. Then it is your turn, in the same spot.

  1. Step 1: Right signal first

    Show your intention before you move. Check your mirrors and surroundings, and go when the way is clear.

    Right signal
  2. Step 2: Line up alongside

    Pull up next to the car ahead, leaving a gap between you. Check your right mirror against the other car’s mirror and brake once you are level.

  3. Step 3: Full right, slowly back

    Shift to R, hold the wheel to the right and reverse slowly. Stop at roughly 45° in a wide space, roughly 35° in a tight one.

  4. Step 4: Straighten the wheel

    Check the headlights of the car behind in your left mirror. Straighten the wheels and reverse a little more at that angle, making room for your front corner.

  5. Step 5: Full left, tuck in

    Turn left and keep reversing. Stop once you are parallel to the kerb. In a tight space a short forward and back correction is normal.

  6. Step 6: Nudge forward, centre up

    Straighten the wheel and select D. Make a small correction forward so there is room on both sides.

  7. Step 7: Stop, shift to P

    Keep the brake pressed. Once the car is fully stopped, select P. You are parked.

How to Parallel Park in 5 Simple Steps

Key moments

Three moments decide a parallel park.

  1. 01

    The line-up point

    Brake once you are level with the car ahead. The gap between you is what lets your front corner swing in later.

  2. 02

    The 45° moment

    Reversing in R on full right lock, stop when the car has turned roughly 45°. The bird’s-eye camera shows this angle clearly from above.

  3. 03

    The full-left moment

    After straightening and reversing a little more, your front corner can swing in. Go full left and stop once you are parallel to the line.

Common mistakes

The game tells you where it went wrong.

Lining up too close to the car ahead

Without a gap, your front corner clips the car ahead as you swing in.

How you spot it in the gameOn contact the corner that hit glows red and your contact count goes up. With driving aids on, the moment of contact replays.

Going past 45°

Stay on full right too long and your rear corner heads for the kerb or the car behind.

How you spot it in the gameThe parking sensor beeps faster as obstacles get closer, with a continuous tone under 35 cm.

Going full left too early

Turn left before you have straightened and reversed enough, and the front corner cannot swing in.

How you spot it in the gameDistance to target and contact count are on screen while you drive.

Stopping before you are parallel

Stop at an angle and the car stays crooked in the space.

How you spot it in the gameIf the car is not aligned the park does not complete; shift to D and make a small correction forward.

When it counts

Success criteria

  • The car is fully inside the dashed bay
  • The car is aligned with the lines, not at an angle
  • You have stopped completely and are holding the brake, or shifted to P

Practice plan

Four steps from easy to traffic.

Your best time is saved separately for every level, so your records show your progress.

  1. 1

    Watch the tutorial first

    Watch it in the practice lot on Easy. If you get lost, pause, step back or replay it at 2×.

  2. 2

    Try it in the same spot

    Hit “Ben deneyeyim” (let me try). Same bay, same start. The bird’s-eye camera shows your alignment most clearly.

  3. 3

    Tighten the bay

    On Medium and Hard the bay gets tighter. Stay on a level until you can park without contact.

  4. 4

    Add traffic, go underground

    Traffic mode brings two-way traffic. Then try it between the columns of the underground mall car park and chase your own best time with the timer.

FAQ

Parallel parking questions

It is the same manoeuvre: reversing between two obstacles and settling parallel to the kerb. The test uses cones, touching the kerb or a cone is a fail on its own, and you get at most two moves once inside. Details are in the Turkish driving test guide.

In the game, “full right” and “full left” mean turning the wheel all the way: 1.5 turns from centre, or 540°. The on-screen wheel turns with you and a light ring shows how far you have turned. In real cars the number varies by model.

In the tutorial the instructor stops at roughly 45° and the note says so. When you try it yourself, switch to the bird’s-eye camera to see the car’s angle clearly from above.

Traffic mode runs two-way traffic. Signal and start reversing, and the car behind backs off to give you room if it can.

From Easy to Hard the gap between the two cars gets tighter. In traffic mode the number of cars and traffic speed go up too.
