Steering
The vehicle can be operated in three steering
modes as selected at the steering select switch on
the instrument panel: four wheel steer, two wheel
steer and crab steer.
NOTE: DO NOT change steer select switch unless
all tires are in the straight ahead position. If tires are
not "straight ahead", steering may become out-of-
phase, making it necessary to perform the four
wheel steer indexing procedure which follows.

steering wheel full right.

steering wheel full right.

steering wheel full left.

front wheels to straight ahead position.
F. Vehicle should now be properly indexed in four
wheel steer mode. If the wheels are still out-of-
phase, repeat this procedure one more time.
