Steering Tips It is important to take curves at a reasonable speed. T raction in a curve depends on the condition of the tires and the road surface, the angle at which the curve is banked, and vehicle speed. While in a curve, speed is the one factor that can be controlled. If there is a need to reduce speed, do it before entering the curve, while the front wheels are straight.

Black plate (7,1) Chevrolet Camaro Owner Manual - 201 1 Driving and Operating 9-7 Of course, traction is reduced when water , snow , ice, gravel, or other material is on the road. For safety , slow down and adjust your driving to these conditions. It is important to slow down on slippery surfaces because stopping distance is longer and vehicle control more limited. While driving on a surface with reduced traction, try to avoid sudden steering, acceleration, or braking, including reducing vehicle speed by shifting to a lower gear . Any sudden changes could cause the tires to slide. Y ou might not realize the surface is slippery until the vehicle is skidding. Learn to recognize warning clues ?[...]

Black plate (11,1) Chevrolet Camaro Owner Manual - 201 1 Driving and Operating 9-1 1 Winter Driving Driving on Snow or Ice Drive carefully when there is snow or ice between the tires and the road, creating less traction or grip. Wet ice can occur at about 0°C (32°F) when freezing rain begins to fall, resulting in even less traction. Avoid driving on wet ice or in freezing rain until roads can be treated with salt or sand. Drive with caution, whatever the condition. Accelerate gently so traction is not lost. Accelerating too quickly causes the wheels to spin and makes the surface under the tires slick, so there is even less traction. T ry not to break the fragile traction. If you accelerate[...]
