Four Wheel Steering, Driving in Bad Weather At very slow speeds, the rear wheels steer in the opposite direction to the front wheels. This helps in maneuvers such as parallel parking and U-turns. At higher speeds, the rear wheels first steer in the same direction as the front wheels. This aids with changing lanes. As you turn the steering wheel more, the rear wheels return to straight ahead and then steer in the opposite direction to the front wheels. This gives improved handling when going around curves at highway speeds. The rear wheels return to the straight ahead position when you turn off the engine. They also return to straight ahead if you sit still for more than two minutes with the engine running. They return to steering mode as soon as you move the steering wheel or start to drive away. The 4WS system is self-checking. If it detects a problem anywhere in the system, it turns on the 4WS indicator on the instrument panel (see page 35) and points the rear wheels straight ahead. Your car will then drive like a conventional car without 4WS. Driving in Bad Weather Rain, fog, and snow conditions require a different driving technique because of reduced traction and visibility. Keep your car wellmaintained and exercise greater caution when you need to drive in bad weather. The cruise control should not be used in these conditions. Driving
