rear axle steering is an elect romechanical
auxiliary steering on there ar axle which adjusts
th e steering of there ar wheels according tothe
position of the front wheels, depending on the
speed. This results in greater manoeuvrability and
impr oved driving stability, e.g. when cornering.
Re ar axle steering has thefo llowing characteris-
