Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Your Driving  and the Road 
the tires  against the road  surface  makes  it 
possible  for  the vehicle to change  its  path 
when  you 
turn the front  wheels.  If there’s 
no  traction,  inertia will keep  the  vehicle 
going  in  the same direction.  If you’ve 
ever  tried  to steer a  vehicle 
on wet  ice, 
you’ll  understand  this. 
The  traction  you  can  get  in  a curve 
depends  on  the condition  of your  tires  and 
the  road  surface, the angle at  which 
the 
curve is banked, and,your  speed.  While 
you’re  in a curve,  speed  is  the  one factor 
you  can  control. 
Suppose  you’re steering  through a sharp 
curve.  Then  you  suddenly accelerate. 
Both  control  systems 
- steering and 
acceleration 
- have to  do their  work 
where  the  tires  meet  the  road.  Unless 
your 
ASR system  is  on, adding  the 
sudden  acceleration  can  demand  too 
much  of those  places.  You can  lose 
control. 
What  should  you  do if this  ever  happens? 
Ease  up on the  accelerator  pedal, steer the 
vehicle  the  way  you  want  it to go,  and 
slow  down. 
Speed  limit signs  near curves  warn that 
you  should  adjust your speed.  Of course, 
the  posted  speeds are based  on  good 
weather  and  road  conditions. Under  less  favorable conditions 
you’ll  want to go 
slower. 
If  you  need  to reduce  your  speed  as 
you 
approach a curve, do it  before  you  enter 
the curve, while  your  front  wheels  are 
straight ahead. 
Try  to adjust  your  speed 
so you can 
“drive”.  through  the  curve.  Maintain 
a  reasonable,  steady  speed.  Wait to 
accelerate  until  you are out  of 
the curve, 
and  then accelerate  gently  into  the 
straightaway. 
Steering  in  Emergencies 
There  are times  when  steering  can  be  more 
effective  than braking.  For example,  you 
come over a  hill  and  find a truck  stopped 
in  your  lane, or a car  suddenly  pulls  out 
from  nowhere,  or a child  darts  out  from 
between  parked  cars and  stops  right  in 
front  of  you.  You  can  avoid  these  problems 
by  braking 
- if you can  stop  in  time.  But 
sometimes  you  can’t; there isn’t  room. 
That’s  the  time for evasive  action 
- 
steering around the problem. 
Your  Corvette  can  perform  very  well  in 
emergencies like  these.  First apply your 
brakes.  It  is  better  to  remove  as  much  speed  as  you  can  from  a possible  collision. 
Then  steer  around  the  problem,  to  the  left 
or  right  depending  on  the  space  available. 
An emergency  like  this  requires  close 
attention  and  a quick  decision.  If  you are 
holding  the  steering  wheel  at  the  recommended 
9 and 3 o’clock  positions, 
you  can  turn  it  a full 
180 degrees  very 
quickly  without  removing  either  hand.  But  you  have to act  fast,  steer  quickly, 
and  just  as quickly  straighten  the  wheel 
once  you  have  avoided  the  object. 
The  fact  that  such  emergency  situations 
are  always  possible  is 
a good  reason  to 
practice  defensive  driving  at  all  times  and 
wear  safety  belts  properly.
