Because of difficulties to exit and enter my underground parking and because I’m tired of scratching the front bumper I’m thinking of changing my executive model for a sport + one to have the rear steering wheels option. Before I decide on the move I need to know at what minimal speed the rear wheels are steering. If someone has that information it would be very helpful.
Many thanks in advance

How does rear steering change the front height and angle of approach? One or both would need to change to stop the front bumper from rubbing.
By monitoring vehicle speed, steering direction and driver inputs, the system constantly calculates the optimum angle for all four wheels at any given time. Using VGRS at the front and DRS at the rear, it independently controls front and rear steering angles, improving turn-in response, rear grip, vehicle stability and overall agility when cornering.
In addition, DRS gauges vehicle speed and yaw rate (the difference between the direction the vehicle is travelling in and the angle the body of the car is pointing towards), steering angle and speed, and lateral G-forces. It uses this data to determine the optimum steering angle for the rear wheels. At speeds below 50mph the front and rear wheels turn in opposite directions; above this speed they turn in the same direction — to a maximum of 1.5 degrees. While this might appear counterintuitive, it actually makes for excellent control and precision, underpinned by safety and stability.
Further coordination of the systems under its control, LDH automatically adjusts the car’s adaptive suspension and active safety systems to suit road conditions, vehicle speed and driving style.
Many thanks tecman. Just spoke with a Lexus dealer who confirmed the rear wheel turning as soon as it is in drive mode and at very low speed. This should help my turns in my garage at very low speed.

I am sorry, I thought you were scrapping the under side on a steep driveway.. If you are running into things with the front or side of the front bumper bumper that's a different issue all together.

no only scrapping the front bumper side. Rear steering wheel should help negociate turns in my too small parking 👍
