Suppose you are steering through a sharp curve.

Then you suddenly apply the brakes. Both

control systems — steering and braking — have

to do their work where the tires meet the road.

Unless you have four-wheel anti-lock brakes,

adding the hard braking can demand too much of

those places. You can lose control.

The same thing can happen if you are steering

through a sharp curve and you suddenly

accelerate. Those two control systems — steering

and acceleration — can overwhelm those places

where the tires meet the road and make you lose

control. See Traction Control System (TCS) on

page 310.

What should you do if this ever happens? Ease up

on the brake or accelerator pedal, steer the

vehicle the way you want it to go, and slow down.

Speed limit signs near curves warn that you

should adjust your speed. Of course, the posted

speeds are based on good weather and road

conditions. Under less favorable conditions you will

want to go slower.

If you need to reduce your speed as you approach

a curve, do it before you enter the curve, while

your front wheels are straight ahead.

Try to adjust your speed so you can “drive”

through the curve. Maintain a reasonable, steady

speed. Wait to accelerate until you are out of

the curve, and then accelerate gently into

the straightaway.

Adding non-GM accessories can affect your

vehicle’s performance. See Accessories and

Modiﬁcations on page 354.

Steering in Emergencies

There are times when steering can be more

effective than braking. For example, you come

over a hill and ﬁnd a truck stopped in your lane, or

a car suddenly pulls out from nowhere, or a

child darts out from between parked cars and

stops right in front of you. You can avoid these

problems by braking — if you can stop in time. But

sometimes you cannot; there is not room. That

is the time for evasive action — steering around

the problem.

Your vehicle can perform very well in emergencies

like these. First apply your brakes.

See Braking on page 306. It is better to remove as

much speed as you can from a possible collision.

Then steer around the problem, to the left or

right depending on the space available.
