If you want to use tire chains, the vehicle needs to be in 2 wheel steer mode. 4: In this mode all four wheels will help steer the vehicle. If you want to use 4, 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, comes on and stays on. If the 4 indicator is flashing you will have to center the steering wheel by turning it to the left or right. L Higher Speeds (40 m.p.h./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. Slower Speeds (below 40 m.p.h./ 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. 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. 4-17
