4 Wheel Active Steer Warning Symbol

4 Wheel Steer

This is the 4 Wheel Active Steer (4WAS) Warning Indicator Symbol. If the light comes on while the engine is running, it may indicate that there is a malfunction in the 4WAS system. If a malfunction has occurred in the system, the 4WAS function will not function, but the vehicle can be steered and can continue to be driven with caution. Only the rear wheel steering is deactivated.

This is an electronic system, so the manufacturer may recommend turning the ignition Off and back On to cycle the engine and the 4WAS system. The light may then go out. If the light does not resolve, see your dealer or authorized repair center.
