GMC Terrain: Driving Information / Off-Road Recovery
The vehicle's right wheels can drop
off the edge of a road onto the
shoulder while driving. Follow
these tips:
- 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.
- Turn the steering wheel about
one-eighth of a turn, until the
right front tire contacts the
pavement edge.
- Turn the steering wheel to go
straight down the roadway.
Electric Power Steering
The vehicle has electric power
steering. It does not have power
steering fluid. Regular maintenance
is not required.
If power steering assist is lost due
to a system malfunction, the vehicle
can be steered, but may require
increased effort...
Skidding
There are three types of skids that
correspond to the vehicle's three
control systems:
Braking Skid — wheels are not
rolling.
Steering or Cornering Skid —
too much speed or steering in a
curve causes tires to slip and
lose cornering force...
