Off-Road Driving With Your Four-Wheel-Drive Vehicle - Chevrolet 2003 Tahoe Owner's Manual

Off-Road Driving with Your
Four-Wheel-Drive Vehicle
This off-road guide is for vehicles that have four-wheel
drive. Also, see Braking on page 4-6. If your vehicle
doesn't have four-wheel drive, you shouldn't drive
off-road unless you're on a level, solid surface.
Off-road driving can be great fun. But it does have
some definite hazards. The greatest of these is
the terrain itself.
"Off-roading" means you've left the great North American
road system behind. Traffic lanes aren't marked.
Curves aren't banked. There are no road signs.
Surfaces can be slippery, rough, uphill or downhill. In
short, you've gone right back to nature.
Off-road driving involves some new skills. And that's
why it's very important that you read this guide.
You'll find many driving tips and suggestions. These will
help make your off-road driving safer and more
enjoyable.
The front bumper lower air dam is held in place by a
series of push-pins located around the lower edge of the
front bumper. The push-pins are accessible from
underneath the front bumper.
If you think you will need some more ground clearance
at the front of your vehicle, you can easily remove
the front bumper lower air dam.
