Customers browsing our inventory of Hummer EVs often ask us, “What is the Hummer crabwalk?” Simply put: CrabWalk is a unique 4-wheel steer mode designed to offer greater vehicle maneuverability when you’re off-roading or parking in or around Berkeley. This unique feature allows the angle of the rear wheels to mimic the angle of the front wheels, so your vehicle can move more diagonally – like that of a crab.
When CrabWalk is engaged, all four wheels pivot in the same direction by up to 10 degrees. Then, the wheels turn to move the vehicle diagonally. This keeps the driver from needing to perform a multi-point turn to get around an obstacle.
To engage CrabWalk Mode on your GMC Hummer EV, follow these steps:
When the 4-Wheel Steer button is released, your vehicle’s HD Surround Vision will appear on the central infotainment screen. To confirm whether CrabWalk is engaged or not, look for the orange crab symbol in the lower right corner of the Driver Display. When CrabWalk is engaged, you can drive as fast as 20 mph, as speeds above 20 mph will cause the wheels to turn at less of an angle. Be aware that some functions such as Lane Keep Assist, Transparent Trailer, Articulation Angle Indicator, and Jackknife Alert will not work in CrabWalk Mode.
To disengage Hummer EV CrabWalk, you have one of two ways:
