Chevrolet Silverado: Driving Information / Drunk Driving
Death and injury associated with drinking and driving is a global tragedy.
Warning
Drinking and then driving is very dangerous. Your reflexes, perceptions,
attentiveness, and judgment can be affected by even a small amount of alcohol. You
can have a serious — or even fatal — collision if you drive after drinking.
Do not drink and drive or ride with a driver who has been drinking. Ride
home in a cab; or if you are with a group, designate a driver who will not drink.
Control of a Vehicle
Braking, steering, and accelerating are important factors in helping to control
a vehicle while driving.
Defensive driving means “always expect the unexpected.” The first step in driving
defensively is to wear the seat belt. See Seat Belts.
Assume that other road users (pedestrians, bicyclists, and other drivers)
are going to be careless and make mistakes...
Braking action involves perception time and reaction time. Deciding to push the
brake pedal is perception time. Actually doing it is reaction time.
Average driver reaction time is about three-quarters of a second...
Other information:
If the vehicle has the Duramax diesel engine, see the Duramax diesel supplement.
Caution
Do not run the engine if there is a leak in the engine cooling system.
This can cause a loss of all coolant and can damage the system and vehicle. Have
any leaks fixed right away...
See Radio Frequency Statement.
If there is a decrease in the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) operating range:
Check the distance. The transmitter may be too far from the vehicle.
Check the location. Other vehicles or objects may be blocking the signal...
