Chevrolet Silverado: Driving Information / Off-Road Recovery
The vehicle's right wheels can drop off the edge of a road onto the shoulder
while driving. Follow these tips:
- Ease off the accelerator and then, if there is nothing in the way, steer

- Turn the steering wheel to go straight down the roadway.
Caution

barriers, or similar objects at speeds greater than 3 km/h (1 mph)...

Braking Skid — wheels are not rolling.
Steering or Cornering Skid — too much speed or steering in a curve causes
tires to slip and lose cornering force...
