ABSTRACT:
A utility vehicle having multiple modes of steering. A mode switch on the vehicle dashboard allows an operator to select a steering mode. This selection sets up a master and slave relationship between the front and rear wheels. The master set of wheels (which can be either the front or rear wheels) is controlled by the vehicle steering wheel. The slave set of wheels is controlled by a feedback control circuit that orients the slave wheels in ways that depend on which mode of steering the operator chooses.
