Hummer EV CrabWalk in Action

So, what is Hummer CrabWalk? It’s a 4-wheel-steering system that includes the brand new “CrabWalk” feature. When activated, Middletown drivers can drive diagonally — similar to a crab walking on a beach. This diagonal motion allows drivers to bypass obstacles without the time and effort of a multi-point turn. How can this help you on- and off-road?

• Maneuver more swiftly through narrow paths
• Move with greater precision while parking
• Change speeds with greater stability at higher speeds

Because the Hummer EV is up to 18 feet long, the Hummer CrabWalk system adds major convenience to your overall driving experience. Additionally, 4-wheel steering allows the rear wheels to turn up to 10 degrees in or out. So whether parking in a tight spot or cruising past obstacles on a nearby trail, you’ll quickly wonder how you ever traveled without the Hummer EV CrabWalk feature!

How to Engage Hummer EV CrabWalk

Want to try out the Hummer CrabWalk system for yourself? It only takes seconds to kick into gear:

• Look for the Driver Mode Control dial on the center console and center out your steering wheel.
• Hold the 4-Wheel Steer button on the left side of the Driver Mode Control dial for 6 seconds. 
• Watch for the CrabWalk animation to indicate that the system is prepped.
• Release the 4-Wheel Steer button and the HD Surround Vision will display, while an orange crab symbol will appear in the lower right corner to indicate it is activated.
• To disengage Hummer CrabWalk, push the 4-Wheel Steer button again.
