It's so simple.
A) watch the blue P on the bottom of the center gauge.
B) drive under 20 mph and watch for a left or right arrow to appear next to the blue P. Normally you have to pass the next car more than half way.

C) Stop when you see the arrow and place car in reverse. On the dash a reverse message appears .. press ok on the steering wheel to begin.
D) Use the brake to control the speed during backup. Go slowly until your used to it. When your almost in the spot .. go very slow till the car straightens the wheel out parallel to the curb.
