Chevrolet Avalanche Owner Manual - 2011

Driving and Operating 9-17

Hard packed snow and ice offer the

worst tire traction. On these

surfaces, it is very easy to lose

control. On wet ice, for example, the

traction is so poor that you will have

difficulty accelerating. And, if the

vehicle does get moving, poor

steering and difficult braking can

cause it to slide out of control.

{

WARNING

Driving on frozen lakes, ponds,

or rivers can be dangerous.

Underwater springs, currents

under the ice, or sudden thaws

can weaken the ice. Your vehicle

could fall through the ice and you

and your passengers could

drown. Drive your vehicle on safe

surfaces only.

Driving in Water

{

WARNING

Driving through rushing water can

be dangerous. Deep water can

sweep your vehicle downstream

and you and your passengers

could drown. If it is only shallow

water, it can still wash away the

ground from under your tires, and

you could lose traction and roll

the vehicle over. Do not drive

through rushing water.

Heavy rain can mean flash flooding,

and flood waters demand extreme

caution.

Find out how deep the water is

before driving through it. Do not try

it if it is deep enough to cover the

wheel hubs, axles, or exhaust

pipe — you probably will not get

through. Deep water can damage

the axle and other vehicle parts.

If the water is not too deep, drive

slowly through it. At faster speeds,

water splashes on the ignition

system and the vehicle can stall.

Stalling can also occur if you get the

tailpipe under water. If the tailpipe is

under water, you will never be able

to start the engine. When going

through water, remember that when

the brakes get wet, it might take

longer to stop. See Driving on Wet

Roads on page 9‑18.

After Off-Road Driving

Remove any brush or debris that

has collected on the underbody,

chassis, or under the hood. These

accumulations can be a fire hazard.

After operation in mud or sand,

have the brake linings cleaned and

checked. These substances can

cause glazing and uneven braking.

Check the body structure, steering,

suspension, wheels, tires, and

exhaust system for damage and

check the fuel lines and cooling

system for any leakage.
