Service manual
The fact that such emergency situations are always possible is a good
reason to practice defensive driving at all times.
OFF-ROAD
RECOVERY
You may find sometime that your right wheels have dropped
off
the edge
of
a road onto the shoulder while you’re driving.
If
the
level
of
the shoulder
is
only slightly below the pavement, recovery
should be
fairly
easy. Ease
off
the accelerator and then,
if
there is nothing
in the way, steer
so
that your vehicle straddles the edge
of
the pavement.
You
can turn the steering
wheel
up to
1/4
turn until the right front tire
contacts the pavement edge. Then turn your steering wheel to
go
straight
down the roadway.
