Control Of A Vehicle - Chevrolet Corvette 2003 Owner's Manual

{
CAUTION:
Drinking and then driving is very dangerous.
Your reflexes, perceptions, attentiveness
and judgment can be affected by even a
small amount of alcohol. You can have a
serious — or even fatal — collision if you drive
after drinking. Please don't drink and drive or
ride with a driver who has been drinking. Ride
home in a cab; or if you're with a group,
designate a driver who will not drink.

Control of a Vehicle

You have three systems that make your vehicle go
where you want it to go. They are the brakes, the
steering and the accelerator. All three systems have
to do their work at the places where the tires meet
the road.
Sometimes, as when you're driving on snow or ice, it's
easy to ask more of those control systems than the
tires and road can provide. That means you can lose
control of your vehicle. Also see Traction Control System
(TCS) on page 4-9 and Active Handling System on
page 4-10 .
