Default RS Q8 rear steering

How much is the rear steering supposed to turn? I can't see a change at full lock.



Full lock while parking

You won't be able to see the rear wheels turning when the car is standing. They turn while moving, from approximately 5 km/h

But I stopped immediately from that speed while parking to test this. It doesnt move the wheels when stopped, so I should still see it turned?

You will know if it is working by the turning circle required to make a U-Turn. My RS Q8 can make a U-Turn from a left hand turn lane across a divided 2 lane intersection and end up in the left most lane (not requiring 2 lanes to make the turn) which would not be possible without rear wheel steer. My previous shorter sedans would end up in the right hand lane needing 2 lanes of width to make the turn (no rear wheel steering).

As soon as you stop, the rear wheels align.

Crank down the side view mirror and watch while turning.

Yes, I tried that, looks like I have to go to the dealer to have it fixed.

Did you get a chance to go to the dealer? What did they say?
