Rear Active Steer (RAS) Fault Indicator

Rear Active Steer

This is a Rear Active Steer (RAS) Fault Indicator symbol. When active and working properly, the electronically-controlled system steers the vehicle using all four wheels. The light illuminates if a malfunction occurs in the system, in which case the RAS function will have stopped. The vehicle’s ordinary front steering will operate normally and the vehicle can be driven safely.

The RAS will also be turned off – and thus turning the warning light on – if an engine or brake fault is detected. If either the Check Engine or the ABS light is on, address them first with your dealer. The Rear Active Steering will also be disabled if a Traction or Stability Control fault is detected. If these warning lights are active, have them addressed first.
