CrabWalk
This is a CrabWalk Dashboard Indicator symbol. It actually appears as a row or set of bent lines that take the shape of a crab. When the system is activated the symbol is seen in yellow/amber. CrabWalk mode allows the driver to turn the rear wheels at the same angle as the front wheels, which enables the vehicle to move diagonally.
- Before continuing, are you sure this is your symbol?? If yes, then read on below.
- Otherwise, you can return to our main Picture Symbols page and scan again!
Note that the symbol to the right will also be seen when CrabWalk mode is enabled. It is an All Wheel Steering symbol, and is struck through because the system is made unavailable while the vehicle is in CrabWalk mode. Click here for more.
