Off-Road Recovery; Passing - GMC 2010 T-Series Owner's Manual

Off-Road Recovery

The vehicle's right wheels can drop off the edge of a
road onto the shoulder while driving.
If the level of the shoulder is only slightly below the
pavement, recovery should be fairly easy. Ease off the
accelerator and then, if there is nothing in the way, steer
so that the vehicle straddles the edge of the pavement.
Turn the steering wheel 8 to 13 cm (3 to 5 inches),
about one-eighth turn, until the right front tire contacts
the pavement edge. Then turn the steering wheel to go
straight down the roadway.

Passing

Passing another vehicle on a two-lane road can be
dangerous. To reduce the risk of danger while passing:
A vehicle like yours takes a longer time to reach
passing speed, so you will need a longer stretch of
clear road ahead than you would with a
passenger car.
Look down the road, to the sides, and to
crossroads for situations that might affect a
successful pass. If in doubt, wait.
Watch for traffic signs, pavement markings, and
lines that could indicate a turn or an intersection.
Never cross a solid or double-solid line on your
side of the lane.
Do not get too close to the vehicle you want to
pass. Doing so can reduce your visibility.
Wait your turn to pass a slow vehicle.
When you are being passed, ease to the right.
