(1)Two-wheel steering mode Steering is performed by the two front axle wheels only. Use this steering mode to travel on public roads. (2)Four-wheel coordinated steering mode The front wheels and rear wheels turn in opposite directions. This steering mode is useful in a small work site, because it provides the smallest turning radius. (3)Crab steering mode The front wheels and rear wheels turn in the same direction. This steering mode is useful to pull the vehicle over to the side of a road, because the vehicle travels obliquely.

Changing Steering Mode WARNING Two-wheel steering
Traveling on public roads in one of the special steering modes (four-wheel coordinated steering and crab steering) is dangerous. On public roads, never use special steering modes. Use special steering modes at low speeds and within work sites or rough terrain only. On public roads, travel in the two-wheel steering mode.
