HOW TO USE CRABWALK

CrabWalk is a 4-Wheel Steering setting that allows the angle of the rear wheels to mimic the angle of the front wheels up to a certain angle the max angle depends on your vehicle. This allows you to move your vehicle diagonally.

You may want to move your vehicle diagonally in certain off-roading situations or to make some parking manoeuvres easier. For example, if the rear of your vehicle is facing an obstacle on the left side, and you need to turn your vehicle to the right to get around it, you might risk colliding with the obstacle in Normal Mode.

By moving the vehicle diagonally with CrabWalk, you have the option of moving the vehicle to help avoid collisions with objects within your turning radius.

CrabWalk can only be used at speeds below 32 kph. At speeds above 32 kph, the front and rear wheels will no longer turn at the same angle. If you continue to drive above 40 kph for longer than 10 seconds, CrabWalk will disengage and return the system to Automatic 4-Wheel Steering mode.

Here’s how to engage CrabWalk:

As with other 4-Wheel Steering modes, there is a limit to how far your rear wheels will turn — the max. angle depends on your vehicle.
