Us& ptxr anti-lock braking system when you need to.
With anti-lock,
you can steer and brake at the same
time. In
many emergencies, steering can help you more
than even the very best braking.
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 (STS Only)
Your vehicle may be equipped with GM MAGNASTEER,
a system that continuously adjusts the effort you feel when
steering at
all vehicle speeds. It provides ease when
parking yet
a fm, solid feel at highway speeds.
Speed Sensitive Steering (SSS) (SLS Only)
This system varies the amount of steering effort
proportionate to your vehicle speed. Steering
is easier at
a lower speed for maneuvering and parking ease‘.
As
your vehicle speed increases, the steering effort also
increases.
At highway speeds, the amount of steering
effort is increased to provide manual-like steering for
maximum control and stability.
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.
