The QUADRASTEER™ System has a control and diagnostic module that monitors and records current system status and operational information.

If your vehicle is equipped with the 4 Wheel Steer system it has the ability to steer the vehicle with all four wheels.

Once the 4 Wheel Steer mode is selected, it is recommended to leave the vehicle in this mode at all times, and during all driving and weather conditions.

You can select this mode at any speed, however, if you are turning the system will not engage until the turn is complete.

The 4 Wheel Steer system is equipped with three different driving modes:

The switch is located on the instrument panel.

2: In this mode the vehicle will operate like any other vehicle with two wheel steering. If you want to use 2 wheel steering and your vehicle is not in this mode, press the button until the 2 indicator, located to the right of the 4 Wheel Steer button, lights up. If the 2 indicator is flashing you will have to center the steering wheel by turning it to the left or right.

Your vehicle will return to 2 (two wheel steering) when the transmission is shifted into NEUTRAL, for example when entering a car wash.

4: In this mode all four wheels will help steer the vehicle. If you want to use 4 wheel steering, and your vehicle is not in this mode, press the button, until the 4 indicator, located to the right of the 4 Wheel Steer button, lights up. If the 4 indicator is flashing you will have to center the steering wheel by turning it to the left or right.

Slower Speeds (below 40 mph/64 km/h)

At slower speeds the front and rear wheels will turn in opposite directions. This helps the vehicle make tighter turns, such as during parking, cornering and turning into tight spaces.

Higher Speeds (40 mph/64 km/h and above)

At higher speeds the front and rear wheels will turn in the same direction. This improves stability of the vehicle during lane changes and sweeping turns.

(4 Wheel Steer tow mode): When towing a trailer the 4 wheel steer tow mode provides enhanced stability allowing the trailer to follow the path of the tow vehicle more closely, especially during lane changes.

In this mode the system operates much like the 4 mode, but is enhanced for trailer towing. It is recommended for all types and weights of trailers.

To engage the 4 wheel steer tow mode, press the 4 Wheel Steer button until the 4 and tow indicators light up on the instrument panel. If the tow indicator is flashing you will have to center the steering wheel by turning it to the left or right. While in the 4 wheel steer  tow mode, it is possible the steering wheel may be slightly off center. For more information, see Towing a Trailer .

Car Washes for QUADRASTEER Equipped Vehicles

Notice: Because your vehicle has a wider rear track a small number of older car washes may be too narrow for your vehicle. Conveyor systems on some automatic car washes may damage your vehicle. Only use conveyor system car washes with 13-inch (33 cm) wide conveyor rails and/or stationary washes with at least 82 inches (208 cm) between the rails. Before using the car wash check with the manager.
