Off-Road Recovery; Loss Of Control - Chevrolet 2015 Corvette Owner's Manual

Normal use of the power steering
assist should return when the
system cools down.
See specific vehicle steering
messages under Service Vehicle
Messages on page 5-39. See your
dealer if there is a problem.
Bend Tips
Take bends at a reasonable
speed.
Reduce speed before entering
a bend.
Maintain a reasonable steady
speed through the bend.
Wait until the vehicle is out of
the bend before accelerating
gently into the straight.
Steering in Emergencies
There are some situations when
steering around a problem may
be more effective than braking.
Holding both sides of the
steering wheel allows you to turn
180 degrees without removing
a hand.
The Antilock Brake System
(ABS) allows steering while
braking.

Off-Road Recovery

Driving and Operating
The vehicle's right wheels can drop
off the edge of a road onto the
shoulder while driving. Follow
these tips:
1. 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.
2. Turn the steering wheel about
one-eighth of a turn, until the
right front tyre contacts the
pavement edge.
3. Turn the steering wheel to go
straight down the roadway.

Loss of Control

Skidding
There are three types of skids that
correspond to the vehicle's three
control systems:
Braking Skid - wheels are not
rolling.
