Know what kind of control to look for.
This original category diagram is an orientation aid, not a picture of your exact trim. Use the written labels and your vehicle manual to identify the real control.
Step by step.
- 01
Enter a clear, loose or soft off-road area and slow below the function's 15 mph operating limit.
- 02
Engage Drive, select the Rock drive program and activate LOW RANGE from the off-road control center.
- 03
Press the G-STEERING button on the off-road control center and confirm activation in the vehicle display.
- 04
Steer into the tight bend while maintaining a controlled low speed; the system meters wheel torque to pivot around the inside rear wheel.
- 05
Straighten the steering and deactivate the function or leave its operating conditions after the maneuver.
Important limits
- G-STEERING is not permitted on public roads and must be used only on loose or soft surfaces.
- It remains a maneuvering aid; the driver is responsible for clearance, traction and steering.
- The official operating limit is up to 15 mph, but terrain may require a much lower safe speed.
Quick checks.
- ✓If the function is unavailable, confirm Drive, Rock and LOW RANGE are all selected.
- ✓Reduce speed below 15 mph and verify no system warning is active.
- ✓If the surface is firm or the vehicle does not rotate cleanly, stop and choose a suitable loose surface rather than adding throttle.
