Off-Road Recovery - GMC 2012 Terrain Owner's Manual

The electric power steering
system does not require regular
maintenance. If you suspect
steering system problems, such as
abnormally high steering effort for
a prolonged period of time, contact
your dealer for service repairs.
Hydraulic Power Steering
(3.0L V6 Engine)
If power steering assist is lost due
to a system malfunction, the vehicle
can be steered, but may require
increased effort.
Curve Tips
Take curves at a reasonable
speed.
Reduce speed before entering a
curve.
Maintain a reasonable steady
speed through the curve
Wait until the vehicle is out of
the curve before accelerating
gently into the straightaway.
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.
Anti-lock Brake System (ABS)
allows steering while braking.
