This sequence of actions during backing is designed for safety and precision.
Placing the right foot on the brake ensures control, shifting to reverse engages the appropriate gear, hand-over-hand steering provides optimal control, looking behind through the window aids visibility, and using mirrors and rearview cameras ensures awareness of surroundings.
Continuous scanning and periodic checks are crucial for avoiding obstacles. Stopping at a designated line is a precautionary measure for precise positioning and collision prevention.
