I don't know the meaning! Thank you Caroline :-)

Answer

"Pull back a bit" can also mean to slow down... not to be so eager or in a hurry. Sometimes when my mom is driving our car and following another car too closely my dad will say "Pull back a bit" or " Hang back". This means that he wants her to slow down and not tailgate the car in front of us.

In the context you provided it does mean to back up your vehicle.
