Anybody have tried this? (tight parking) - Page 2 - Smart Car of America Forums : Smart Car Forum

the ESP wont correct the ebrake if the ebrake is fully engaged. i tried it earlier today and it worked like a charm (i dont mean i tried parallel parking like that though)

Probably could've fit 3 in one spot if we all did this!

If you play the seventh episode to the right at the bottom after the first episode, you wil see the IQ closest to us drive out of the parking space. Be replaced by a black one and four people exit the car.

Episodes 3,4,5, and 6 are very good also.

Okay, 7-point exit. Not bad.

Now if they had an automated system like those "cars that park themselves" (tho ones with sensors for the curbs and other cars) but instead does the high-speed 180, I might buy one. Parallel parking would sure be more fun!

I wonder if the driver of those big cars can get in... now if you had rockets you could reverse how they got in ;)

I can imagine calling Giego or any other insurance company and saying "Hi miss.. I'm filing a collision claim because my car did a high speed 180 drift into another vehicle by IT SELF when it was trying to self park me into a parking spot... .that's cover right? great!".

LoL.. I'mma take out that one fuse for the ESP and see how it works... even though the ESP doesn't control your e-brake I realized that there's so much under steer I can't really get the rear to swing around no matter how hard you try.. I tried that at the race track doing the auto cross a while back.
