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...

Convex Mirrors
Warning
A convex mirror can make things, like other vehicles, look farther away
than they really are. If you cut too sharply into the right lane, you could hit
a vehicle on the right. Check the inside mirror or glance over your shoulder before
changing lanes...
Caution
The vehicle does not need an elaborate break-in. But it will perform better
in the long run if you follow these guidelines:
Keep the vehicle speed at 88 km/h (55 mph) or less for the first 805
km (500 mi).
Do not drive at any one constant speed, fast or slow, for the first
805 km (500 mi)...

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.
