Buick Encore: Driving Information / Off-Road Recovery
The vehicle's right wheels can drop off the
edge of a road onto the shoulder while
driving. Follow these tips:
- Ease off the accelerator and then,
if there is nothing in the way, steer the

- Turn the steering wheel about

- Turn the steering wheel to go straight
down the roadway.
