Black plate (4,1) Chevrolet Camaro Owner Manual - 2010 8-4 Driving and Operating Medical research shows that alcohol in a person's system can make crash injuries worse, especially injuries to the brain, spinal cord, or heart. This means that when anyone who has been drinking — driver or passenger — is in a crash, that person's chance of being killed or permanently disabled is higher than if the person had not been drinking. Control of a V ehicle The following three systems help to control the vehicle while driving — brakes, steering, and accelerator .

Defensive drivers avoid most skids by taking reasonable care suited to existing conditions, and by not overdriving those conditions. But skids are always possible. The three types of skids correspond to the vehicle's three control systems. In the braking skid, the wheels are not rolling. In the steering or cornering skid, too much speed or steering in a curve causes tires to slip and lose cornering force. And in the acceleration skid, too much throttle causes the driving wheels to spin. If the vehicle starts to slide, ease your foot off the accel[...]

Sustained high-speed driving causes excessive heat build up and can cause sudden tire failure. Y ou could have a crash and you or others could be killed. Some high-speed rated tires require inflation pressure adjustment for high speed operation. When speed limits and road conditions are such that a vehicle can be driven at high speeds, make sure the tires are rated for high speed operation, in excellent condition, and set to the correct cold tire inflation pressure for the vehicl[...]

Black plate (59,1) Chevrolet Camaro Owner Manual - 2010 V ehicle Care 9-59 As an added safety feature, your vehicle has been equipped with a tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) that illuminates a low tire pressure telltale when one or more of your tires is significantly under ‐ inflated. Accordingly , when the low tire pressure telltale illuminates, you should stop and check your tires as soon as possible, and inflate them to the proper pressure. Driving on a significantly under ‐ inflated tire causes the tire to overheat and can lead to tire failure. Under ‐ inflation also reduces fuel efficiency and tire tread life, and may affect the vehicle's handling and stopping ability .[...]
