[. . . ] GM recognizes these concerns and urges every off-roader to follow these basic rules for protecting the environment: Traveling to Remote Areas It makes sense to plan your trip, especially when going to a remote area. But you'll want to know how to use it properly. D Always use established trails, roads and areas that have been specially set aside for public off-road recreational driving; obey all posted regulations. D Avoid any driving practice that could damage the environment -- shrubs, flowers, trees, grasses -- or disturb wildlife (this includes wheel-spinning, breaking down trees or unnecessary driving through streams or over soft ground). D Always carry a litter bag . camp stoves and lanterns. Getting Familiar with Off-Road Driving It's a good idea to practice in an area that's safe and close to home before you go into the wilderness. Your eyes, for example, need to constantly sweep the terrain for unexpected obstacles. With your arms, hands, feet and body, you'll need to respond to vibrations and vehicle bounce. D Take extreme care with open fires (where permitted), D Never park your vehicle over dry grass or other combustible materials that could catch fire from the heat of the vehicle's exhaust system. 4-16 Controlling your vehicle is the key to successful off-road driving. One of the best ways to control your vehicle is to control your speed. At higher speeds: Scanning the Terrain Off-road driving can take you over many different kinds of terrain. You need to be familiar with the terrain and its many different features. Off-roading can take you over hard-packed dirt, gravel, rocks, grass, sand, mud, snow or ice. Each of these surfaces affects the steering, acceleration and braking of your vehicle in different ways. Depending upon the kind of surface you are on, you may experience slipping, sliding, wheel spinning, delayed acceleration, poor traction and longer braking distances. A rock, log, hole, rut or bump can startle you if you're not prepared for them. Often these obstacles are hidden by grass, bushes, snow or even the rise and fall of the terrain itself. Here are some things to consider: D you approach things faster and you have less time to scan the terrain for obstacles. D you have less time to react. D you have more vehicle bounce when you drive over obstacles. D you'll need more distance for braking, especially since you're on an unpaved surface. CAUTION: When you're driving off-road, bouncing and quick changes in direction can easily throw you out of position. So, whether you're driving on or off the road, you and your passengers should wear safety belts. D Is the path ahead clear?D Does the travel take you uphill or downhill? (There's more discussion of these subjects later. ) direction quickly? D Will you have to stop suddenly or change 4-17 When you drive over obstacles or rough terrain, keep a firm grip on the steering wheel. Ruts, troughs or other surface features can jerk the wheel out of your hands if you're not prepared. When you drive over bumps, rocks, or other obstacles, your wheels can leave the ground. If this happens, even with one or two wheels, you can't control the vehicle as well or at all. Because you will be on an unpaved surface, it's especially important to avoid sudden acceleration, sudden turns or sudden braking. In a way, off-road driving requires a different kind of alertness from driving on paved roads and highways.
