thresh hold braking
Weight transfer refers to the redistribution of the vehicle's weight during acceleration, braking, and cornering. As the vehicle accelerates, brakes, or turns, the weight shifts from one part of the vehicle to another, affecting the handling and traction of the vehicle. Weight transfer plays a crucial role in determining the balance and stability of a vehicle during various driving maneuvers.
AdvanceTrac Stability Enhancement System (if equipped) The AdvanceTrac system helps the driver maintain the stability and steer-ability of the vehicle. The system integrates anti-lock braking system (ABS) and Traction Control with other vehicle systems to further enhance the stability of the vehicle. The system shares many of the electronic and mechanical elements already present in the Traction Control and ABS systems. AdvanceTrac constantly monitors the vehicle motion relative to the driver's intended course. This is done by using added sensors that compare the steering inputs from the driver with the actual motion of the vehicle. When there is a discrepancy between the driver's inputs and the vehicle motion, AdvanceTrac changes the force at each tire to help control the vehicle. If the vehicle begins to rotate excessively left or right, spin out, or slide sideways, the system will attempt to correct the excessive motion. If the vehicle does not respond to steering inputs, the system will attempt to increase the turning response of the vehicle. AdvanceTrac enhances stability during maneuvers that require all available tire traction to control the vehicle. The system uses ABS and Traction Control (including control of the engine) as well as its more advanced controls to enhance vehicle stability. The benefits of the AdvanceTrac system are most noticeable when driving in wet/snowy/icy road conditions and/or when performing emergency maneuvers. In an emergency lane-change, the driver will experience better overall control of the vehicle.

Grant the emergency vehicle the right of way.
Yes if you are just following it to see where it is going. It is however not illegal to be going in the same direction as an emergency vehicle as long as you stay 500 feet back. If the emergency vehicle is not using its emergency lights or sirens, and is not stopped at an emergency scene, you can treat it like a regular vehicle and follow it as would be legal for any other vehicle.
A wrecker is considered to be an emergency vehicle when it's emergency lights are flashing. Under normal circumstances a wreckers lights are not flashing it is just a truck or service vehicle.
VSA = Vehicle Stability Assist. It's vehicle stability control and traction control.
when an emergency vehicle is answering a call, you must stay at least 500 ft. away from the vehicle.
While remaining cognizant of your own and others safety, if possible make sure that there is a path for the emergency vehicle to proceed.
Yes, in emergency situations, the police have the authority to commandeer a vehicle for official use.
That is correct, when you've pulled over for an emergency vehicle, you wait until it passes, then you can resume driving.
Raising a vehicle's center of gravity can make it more prone to tipping over during sharp turns or sudden maneuvers. This can reduce stability and control, especially at high speeds. Additionally, it may increase the risk of rollover accidents.
