Steering
Power Steering
If you lose power steering assist because the engine
stops or the system is not functioning, you
can steer but
it will take much more effort.
Magnasteer TM
Your vehicle is equipped with GM Magnasteer”, a
steering system that continuously adjusts
the effort you
feel when steering at all vehicle speeds.
It provides ease
when parking yet a firm, solid feel at highway speeds.
Steering Tips
Driving on Curves
It’s important to take curves at a reasonable speed.
A lot of the “driver lost control” accidents mentioned on
the news happen on curves. Here’s
why:
Experienced driver or beginner, each of us is subject to
the same laws of physics when driving on curves. The
traction
of 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 yo~lr speed. While
you’re
in a curve, speed is the one factor YOLI 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 traction control
system is on, adding the sudden acceleration can
demand
too much of those places. You can lose control.
What should
Y~LI 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
YOLI’II want to go slower.
If YOLI need to reduce your speed as you approach a
curve, do
it before YOLI enter the curve, while your front
wheels are straight ahead.
Try to adjust YOLI~ 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.
