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
the vehicle so that it straddles the edge of the pavement.
- Turn the steering wheel about one-eighth of a turn, until the right front
tire contacts the pavement edge.
- Turn the steering wheel to go straight down the roadway.
Caution
To avoid damage to the steering system, do not drive over curbs, parking
barriers, or similar objects at speeds greater than 3 km/h (1 mph)...
Skidding
There are three types of skids that correspond to the vehicle's three control
systems:
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...
Other information:
If equipped, the LCA system is a lane-changing aid that assists drivers with
avoiding lane change crashes that occur with moving vehicles in the side blind zone
(or spot) areas or with vehicles rapidly approaching these areas from behind. The
LCA warning display will light up in the corresponding outside side mirror and will
flash if the turn signal is on...
When the exterior lamp control is set to AUTO and it is dark enough outside,
the headlamps come on automatically.
There is a light sensor on top of the instrument panel. Do not cover the sensor,
otherwise the headlamps will come on when they are not needed...

Warning
Never leave a child, a helpless adult, or a pet alone in a vehicle, especially
with the windows closed in warm or hot weather. They can be overcome by the extreme
heat and suffer permanent injuries or even death from heat stroke.
