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...
